pressure does my turbo need? Turbonectics t3 BALL BEARING TURBO 60-1 STG 5 .58 A/R. i dont have a pressure gage yet.
pic of the oil line it has a restrictor on it that is the size of tip of a pin sorry i dont know the exact size.

 

Well Hondas usually run 80-90psi when cold, 10-15psi warm idle, and ~60psi after 3k rpm warm. A .060" restrictor usually is enough, as I've heard from Garrett reps that 30psi is about as much as you should feed a journal bearing Garrett, and a bit less for a baller-bearing turbo.

Just watch out, people love to sprout their 'knowledge' about wether or not a baller-bearing Garrett has a built-in restrictor or not. The threads tend to devulge into flame-fests with nobody the wiser in the end.

BTW is that like a 1.8L v-dub?

 

thanks. yeah its a 16v
