Re: Adjustable oil resistor
 
why not just stick a generic restrictor in the turbo.

it jsut has to have a 0.060" hole right before the turbo.

when i first got my turbo i had a big smokeing problem, eveytime i would stop and the revs would stop i would get white smoke coming out of the exhast, made my own restrictor with 0.060" hole in it and it worked like a charm. havent seen smoke since.

but don't once the turbo remit white smoke, means the seal was gone and cant be use anymore?

No, it means you've pushed oil passed the seal, but the seal more often than not isn't "broken", it just had enough oil pressure to push oil past it. That's when you restrict it, let the excess oil burn off of it, and then drive like a nutjob happily ever after.
