Re: (b18 hatch mike)
I've never purchased one of those, but I've used thousands of function7 drain flanges over the years. I've never ever had an issue with their machine work, and I wouldn't expect you to have one either.

Re: (b18 hatch mike)
I have the exact same thing, but i think it's for ball bearing turbos.. the hole is a little bigger than a needle hole.. i'm going to drill mine out since i'm running a journal bearing turbo, probably half the side of a -3 AN line would feed.. any suggestions?

He's right. You don't want to risk oil starvation with the use of an oil restrictor if you don't need one.

Re: (thelate1)
The one that you're posting on ebay seems to claim that it is a 1.6mm opening (.062"). That's a bit big for small to medium sized GT ball-bearing cartridges which need only a .88mm (.035"). If you are indeed running the smaller to medium sized ball-bearing GT units (GT2860RS to GT35R sizes) this is not the one for you. Check with ATP for the correct application.

You don't need a oil restrictor. What I always tells customers is to just run a -3 line without a restrictor, and if you notice oil pushing past the seals then add a restrictor (.060"). The worst thing you can do is starve the turbo of oil and that will be a $600 mistake.
GT turbos are a whole different story.

Re: (b18 hatch mike)
Yah you don't need one with the -3an. The most important thing to check in order to preserve the seals of your turbo is to have a good downward angle on the return line. The return line is gravity-driven so make sure there is absolutely no uphill travel.
