I haven't removed my balance shafts yet so that shouldn't be the problem.

I've always been told that on journal bearing turbos you don't need a restrictor. 95talonracer said he talked to pte and they said that with their journal bearing turbos you don't need to run a restrictor. and on my old bullseye vtrim that didn't burn a lick of oil running the same oil feed

plus there is a bunch of shaft play. which shouldn't be there on a freshly rebuilt turbo with only 120 miles on it

oh and for the whole oil pressure issue the last time I checked it I only had like 14psi at idle so i'm on the low side
