I just killed my turbo, in my quest to stop the exhaust smoking I found a valve to turn oil pressure to turbo down, turn it down too low, drove for a few, engine drags, at spool time 3500rpm stop adjust fuel enrichment nothing changes, so I pulled the filter off the turbo, it does not spins anymore! even with a screwdriver! so no more boost till I get the other turbo! just a big restriction in my intake/exhaust.

someone REALLY needs to show the proper way to add an oil restrictor to the system or say whether or not you really need one and make it a STICKY!!! or just add it to the FAQ.

You should just kill yourself.....Bitch. J/k I think I remember the post about somebody having problems with a smokey exhuast and was going to install an oil resister. You ever get that oil pressure gauge? Could have helped

OK NOW! I did get a valve that turns it down, but what happen is that it has two outlets where I could split the pressure in half, but after setting it like that Iclean the engine, and accidentally turn it off did not know, did not add a guage, will do next time, drove for 2 minutes, sqeek, squeek, no more boost.
