i chose this turbo for my new build as it suites my whp expected output and meets my price range, it has left me with a few questions though...first does it require an oil restrictor? also what kind of feed and return line are people running with this turbo?

no restrictor, -3 or -4 an feed line...

 

I'm running a restictor from atp-turbo.com with a -4 line. The general rule of thumb if you search here is you don't really need a restictor with the -3 line but it's a good idea with the -4 line. Just search, read, and make up your own opinion. Don't just rely on this one thread.

 

im using a -3 with a restrictor for feed. i think im using 5/8ths for my return

 

I have been told by 2 different people that build turbos for a living that you never need a restrictor on a turbo as long as the drain is sufficient and the unit is not ball bearing, but dunc is right, dont rely on this one thread...

Depends what pressure it's seeing. Put a -4 line feeding 100+psi into a turbo and even with a -10 drain it WILL smoke... don't ask how I know.

 

I won't argue with experience

 

ok good points all around, but im still scared to run a restrictor if i dont need one.....any more input?

 

we run -3 with no restrictor on all our cars
