Haven't heard of this. But you should have gone with the oil inlet restrictor from atpturbo.com

Not knocking Stealthmode at all (will be buying an oil line kit/firewall kit from you next week ) But the restrictor from stealthmode has a valve on it, so you kind of have to guess. You really don't know when your turbo is getting too much oil, or not enough.

I heard the atp one works great.

Sorry I didn't answer your question.

the ONLY way to use that restrictor valve is with a brass TEE after the valve and a pressure gauge RITE ON IT, that way u can adjust the valve to 30psi or just a tad over when floored.

Sorry about the wrong size. The only size I carry is 1/8, and my supplier sent me one 1/4 by mistake. It's been floating around here for some time now and my wife is handling most of the shipping these days.(damn women) PM me your address and I'll send the correct size to you. Don't worry about sending the other one in. Sorry about that.
