Default Garrett Turbo Question?????????

Im Running a LS/VTEC Turbo setup and my oil pressure is set at 80psi at 6500rpm and i heard that with my T series turbo i shouldnt run that high of a oil pressure and i should install a oil restrictor because at that pressure it tends to damamge the turbo seals...........?

Your oil pressure reading at the block is not the same at the feed line. Checking the feed line (-3AN) at its oil pressure there is most recommended. Some turbos may require and additional restriction. others may not. depends upon the turbocharger used as well.
