I'm getting the oil from the oil filter housing but it's a journal bearing turbo so it shouldn't need a restrictor. my last turbo was a journal bearing turbo and I ran the oil feed the same way and it didn't burn a lick of oil.

Thanks for the offer but I'm either going to send it to precision or bring it to diesel components in burnsville
