Do I need a oil restrictor with this setup
 
Given me using a bastard turbo, I need a -4an threaded banjo fitting for the oil inlet. I got this one. Oil lines are -4an. Question is do I still need to run a oil line? Doesn't look like its gonna flow crazy psi of oil right?

I think that would depend on how much pressure/volume you have at the turbo.

well yeah but I won't to know if this setup will be good for like 15-20psi. I have a bb and don't want to screw up the seals.

Then get the restrictor to be safe.

Running a restrictor on an expensive turbo when you don't need it has it's own dangers also.

When I said pressure, I didn't mean boost pressure, I meant oil pressure. Put a T in the oil line to the turbo and determine the pressure at idle and at RPM.
