enough oil supply to turbo?
sup guys,
my turbo is a garrett turbo and the oil feed is made for a 1/4"th male piece. but my oil line kit came with a steel line with 1/8"th female ends,and a 1/8"th elbo. so i went and got a 1/4"th-1/8"th reducer and im running the 1/8"th elbo on it. will i be fine running the 1/8"th elbo like the kit came with,or is it to small to get enough oil to the turbo?

Re: enough oil supply to turbo? (stealthmode62)
there are also people that run orfices (inline restrictors) to restrict oil pressure to there turbos so that they dont blow the seals. I believe that a lot of turbos are only meant to see 25-30 psi of oil pressure (please correct me if im wrong), where as our hondas are putting out twice that.

You should be good with 1/8th. call up garret and find out what is the max and min pressure spec for that turbo.
