RE: Well here goes nothing
lol Johnny you think you are? Cant wait hear that BOV[8D] althgouh i need some freaking help, the BOV is cofusing as to how you install it on the adapter plate it came with, thres no really way to lock it in place, but i think i'm gonna post of an I NEED HELP video and have you guys help me out
so while i'm here, intercooler and oil line kit are in the mail, next will be oil sandwich adapter and triple pillar pod (also gonna get a tach and voltmeter), and alos got a question....
Do i need an oil restrictor? I've heard mixed opinions on it, what do you guys think? It seems like i'd rather supply to much fuel rather thna not enough and ruin the shaft, kinda like the running rich vs. runnign lean, neitehr is preferable, but rather be rich than detonate
so, what should i do?

"but rather be rich than detonate "
"rather supply to much fuel rather thna not enough "
Where do you plan on putting an oil restrictor to make it effect fuel? lol... Anyway I'm sure thats just a typo, I'm just messing with u. I think it would be ok as long as you are using a quality turbocharger and you are. You probably only NEED one if you are using an ssac turbo. Long story short imho, if you want to mess with one and want some added safty to keep your turbo in good shape then get it. If you don't want yet another thing to tinker with then you will be fine without it and don't get one.

Im not sure what turbo your going with but its pobably a good idea to use a restrictor. Too much oil going to your turbo will slowly eat away the seals. Turbos really dont need all that much oil lin them to be lubricated. It also makes it a little easier on your oil return setup cuz you wont be having to drain so much oil.

flip, might as well spend 15 bucks buy one and run your turbo at exactly the right oil pressure it needs.

RE: Well here goes nothing
-3AN, -10AN return well routed, no restrictor needed.
-4AN, -10AN return well routed, .6 or larger restrictor
Journal bearing turbo's generally don't need a restrictor, but you can put a larger sized one on there if you want to be safe. I personally don't run one, haven't had any problems but I have -3AN feed.
