i read recently while doing research for mu turbo build that some turbos have a restictor in their oil feed line. now my question is is this only for ball bearing turbos and how would i go about getting one and knowing what size i need? thanks

some turbos have restrictors built in but they usually are not small enough for the high oil pressures that hondas produce.....they only way to truely know what size you need is to measure the pressure going into the turbo after the restrictor, but for most a .035 works on the BB turbos.....what turbo are you using?
