Another Oil Restrictor Question???
If got a turbonetics t3 on a d-series, i seem to be getting some smoke uppon decelleration and a small puff right after i lightly touch the throttle. The motor has been rebuilt with new rings and valve seals.
I have not gotten around to pulling a charge pipe to look for oil in there yet but im thinking that ive got oil going past the seals in the turbo. It only has like 3000km on it.
I know that turbonetics says not to use a restrictor! and some people say do and some people say dont.
My question is: If i put a restrictor in and i dont 100% need it am i going to be hurting the turbo or starving it for oil???

Yes it can cause your turbo to fail.
What kind of drain set up do you have?

Re: (TheShodan)
No i dont have pics, Its an sls ram horn mani. The drain is not any fancy an fittings it is just a piece of hose clamped onto barbed fittings on both ends, No 90's or kinks Just a nice long 90' curve. I think its about 5/8" hose??

Re: (grand champ)
I love the SLS manifolds, but they sit the turbo rather low to the point where the drain is almost parallel with the pan, especially if you have a Moroso pan. If there is not a good gravity slope to it, the oil could easily get backed up. Get rid of the 90 degree slope. You may have a drain issue.. Pics will help as soon as possible.
