This is the correct one.. the ones on eBay are the ones with that stupid hole you want to avoid. Hopefully you didn't damage it to point of rebuild already.

 

Thanks Shodan for your help! I will call my Tunner and see if he has one in stock. I will let you know how it goes after I switch them. Also today on the way to work I started the car and the oil psi on cold start was at 80 for about 3 seconds and it dropped to 40 and stayed between 40-50 on my commute. So i don't think that the turbo was seeing much over pressure if that means anything.

 

So I called my Tunner and and he has vibrant .065 t3 oil restrictor in 1/8. Will that one work or I need the 1/4?

 

No. It needs to screw into the actual inlet port. THAT is a 1/4NPT, I believe.. the -3AN represents what oil feed line size you have. You must check physically to find out. Either call Precision to ask, or test fit a fitting or threadmaker from your local hardware store.

The vibrant fitting has several pills in it, those are incorrect anyway. The B&R Fittings is your best option.

 

No. that's just pressure at the line. It only gets into the opening of that plate. once it pools, it dribbles into the oil galley. even if it was a .065 opening.. oil is not being pressurized into the galley.

 

He has the correct size that I need for it to go directly into the inlet and my feed line. Its .065 I believe. I will install it and see if it help and change my oil to 10w30 or 10w40

 

by "he" who are you talking about?

TheShodan has done everything shy of buying the fitting and installing it for you...

 

Yes, Shodan helped me out a lot. "he" would be the Tunner and he didn't have the -4 feed line restrictor so I went to speedfactory and got one from them. Also got Bred Penn oil 10w40 and will see if it helps a lot. Here's the pic of my previes adaptor And new restrictor.



Big difference, new one is .65

 

So I installed the restrictor and changed my oil and everything is fine now. No more oil clouds behind me, and doesn't even show any blue smoke at idle. Thanks Shodan!!!!

 

Btw the inlet was 1/8

 

Good show, mate...glad you saved it before it died..

1/8npt, good to know... so now tell the world to stop using those shitty restrictor plates!!!

 

I sure did save that turbo thanks to you Shodan for your good eye!!
The car runs much smoother now and the oil presure gage actually functioning normally now.

Also, should I be worried about oil starvation to the turbo? The .65 hole does look small

 

Oil pressure pushes through the restricter to feed the proper amount of oil to the turbo. No worries unless you oil starve the whole engine
