BUt, you can still be worried about your restrictor begin plugged. It's happens. Often. The hole is so small.
So I usually crank the car with the feed liine in a can to see if any oil comes out of it. If it does, then you plug it to the turbo and you're ready to go, knowing that the turbo will not suffer from oil starvation.

NEVER use an adjustable oil restrictor!!!!! any adjstment **** on a oil feed line is an invitation for trouble. it's like playing russian roulette with your turbo! 1/16" is a good size restrictor for a T3 on most any car.
