ball bearing turbo,what size oil restrictor?

[injen78]

my friend is going to be running a normal t3/t4 turbo and doesnt want to blow the seals..so ive been checking around and ive HEARD that we should run a .035 oil restrictor with a ball bearing turbo...now ive searched and can not find this size restrictor..all i can find is .065 which ive heard is best for journal bearing turbo's because they require much more oil pressure for longevity...so what im wondering is


1.WHAT SIZE OIL RESTRICTOR DO WE USE ON t3/t4 BALL BEARING TURBO
2.WHERE CAN I FIND OIL RESTRICTOR KITS

yea but what size do i need...ive been reading mixed answers..

[P-CRIDER]

Well i would start with the .035 then work you way up to .065 u can drill it out your self

[injen78]

.065 is bigger than .035 so i wouldnt be able to drill it out unless i filled it back in..and id rather no have to guess and risk blowing the seals in my friends turbo lol

i need to order mine. I just ordered a flange from these guys yesterday. I bought it on ebay. And I was looking at the paypal invoice and it was from these guys. Good ppl my shit is already shipped out this morning.

[injen78]

from what guys??? and how do i figure out if the line is -3an or -4an...the line is supposed to be 3/8 but idk how to convert that shit to -an terms lol
i do know that on the end it a 1/8npt fitting to accept a 1/8npt restrictor.
