Re:CCA T3 rebuild cartridges
 

Kinda vague isn't it? Is there any specs on this that you are aware of? The gauge I can do, but I'm trying not to make my car look like a cockpit inside.

Im going to look into a single autometer electric gauge, with 2 sending units and some kind of switch between the two, since the pressure after the valve would differ from the engines operating oil pressure. Does this sound like a good idea? or am I talking out my ass? Obviously a larger oil line would also reduce the pressure, but increase the volume getting to the turbo right? Like the opposite of putting your thumb over the end of a garden hose, pressure gets higher but less water comes out.

Can you see anything I might have missed when figuring this out?

Here's an hmt secret (just don't tell anyone). Most people use the restrictor valve to restrict oil to the turbo when the seals are going to ----. A.K.A. making a beat turbo work without smoking.
Hook up your kit, and then talk to me if you see smoke. ;)

man, thats one slick way to do things. Granted not the best way to extend the turbo life, but at least its not a smoke bomb.

Cool idea....

If its bound to blow, run it till theres nothing left.

Re:CCA T3 rebuild cartridges
 

if the seals are already leaking, and the turbo's ---- anyways, then yeah, it actually is extending the life of the turbo, or else it would be sitting on a shelf b/c it smokes ;D
