.0035 restrictor and -3 line. you really need to know what oil pressure you have first.

what does the magnet have to do with the feed line?
Most people use a magnetic drain plug so they can can see what ferrous metals it got without taking the oilpan off.

Um my oil pressure is 80-95 psi at cold start up but then at 500rpms its about 10psi then 1.2k its 25psi 3k its 55-60 psi.. I had a 4an line before and now i purchased a oil kit from stealtmode and i have the oil restrictor that is designed for the turbo its a aluminum restrictor with a 4an male fitting..


The magnet would be for if there was a problem or some metal shavings it would have a better chance of sticking to the magnet. and no they dont have nothing to do with the feedline..

you know none of the bearings in your engine or turbo are not made of anything that will stick to a magnet right?

Ok i am not 100% sure if the bearings are made out of steel but its some kinda of a alloy and when there is friction on the alloy guess what happens it magnetises so it will stick to the magnet..
