Well I just got done searching plus its 2am and I just want an answer. Ill be running a turbonetics T3T4 with a FEMALE 1/8NPT feed on the turbo. i want to run a -4 line due to the price difference (quite substantial) My motor hits 84psi OIL PRES. at WOT and 82 after VTEC. Im curious if a oil restrictor will be a good idea (im pretty sure it will be) , this is a BRAND NEW turbo and id like to keep it that way and not blow past the seals on it. Any insight? Is there a 1/8NPT male x -4 male oil restrictor?

Thanks Guys.

First off what you see at the guage is not always what the turbo see's. You need to take a guage and put it at the oil feed on your turbo to see what it is there. It should be no lower than 15-20 psi and optimal is 40-50psi at wot. Once you see what it is then you can decide on what size restrictor.

ive looked at them while on their site, I have no problem buying anything, I found a killer deal on a -3an line so I might just pick that up and from what ive read a restrictor is not needed for a jounral bearing turbo on a -3an feed.
