ok im leaking oil from the exhaust and intake housing the oil feed fiting in the turbo is a 1/4 inch i beleive if i down size to say an 1/8th will that stop all the extra oil?

 

Is it on a new(er) turbo?
If so..
Why not just add a restricotr at the turbo instead of swapping the whole line?

 

its a used rebuilt

 

1/8 is still too big. What turbo do you have?

 

Sounds to me like its not the line you should be worried about but rather the seals are already blown out. An oil restrictor is a good investment... to prevent this from happening. Im running -4an line down to a oil feed restrictor from mcmaster carr with a .063" orifice which is perfect oil pressure for a turbo with journal bearings.

 

its a teo4h i put a ristrictor in the oil line just for now till i get my check on saturday it has stopped smoking( coming out the ehaust side ) but its still leaking out of the compressor side im most likely going to order seals soon for it.

 

Good call, hope everything works out for ya

 

correct restrictor is .06 for non bb turbos and .03 for bb turbos.
i normally just have mine built into the oil line
