Default enough oil supply to turbo?

sup guys,
my turbo is a garrett turbo and the oil feed is made for a 1/4"th male piece. but my oil line kit came with a steel line with 1/8"th female ends,and a 1/8"th elbo. so i went and got a 1/4"th-1/8"th reducer and im running the 1/8"th elbo on it. will i be fine running the 1/8"th elbo like the kit came with,or is it to small to get enough oil to the turbo?

there are also people that run orfices (inline restrictors) to restrict oil pressure to there turbos so that they dont blow the seals. I believe that a lot of turbos are only meant to see 25-30 psi of oil pressure (please correct me if im wrong), where as our hondas are putting out twice that.

You should be good with 1/8th. call up garret and find out what is the max and min pressure spec for that turbo.
