ball bearing turbo oil supply
The turbo diesel engine in my car has had an aftermarket ball bearing turbo installed, the original turbo had the standard brass bearings floating on oil, my question is how much should I reduce the oil supply to this ball bearing turbo? I have no figures for the standard turbo's oil supply pressure and flow. How would the oil supply to the turbo be restricted, and where would I put in a re stricter to slow the flow/pressure?

exactly. also note: that restrictors have also been called "pills" so don't be confused. you can usually put a restrictor the point where the oil line connects up to to the turbo. do this instead of putting the restrictor at the point where the oil line leaves the engine block. hope that clears things up a bit.
