Default IHI RHF5 (apexi sohc) turbo - oil restrictor needed?

I recently picked up a few pieces of the sohc apexi turbo kit - turbo/mani/downpipe but not the IC or oil lines etc.. Im putting the rest of the kit together with leftover parts in the garage.

I was wondering if an oil restrictor is required. Right now I just have the fitting in the turbo and a -3AN line. Im assuming it is required, because the turbo is roller ball bearing. If so, where can I get one?
