Found a perfect oil restrictor for turbos.
 

Well in being worried about oil pressure to my turbo I looked into finding a good solution. The ball valve type restrictors are just not a useable option. I bought a Stevemode kit that it was included in. I don't feel I want to use it. I don't feel safe about it staying put. I did a ton a research and found that a .060 orifice is ideal. After that I found the exact 1/8 male x 1/8 female with a .060 restrictor at atp turbo. Its was around $14 and $11 to ship. Thats retarded. $25 for a $10 fitting? I searched through Mcmaster.com and found an 1/8male x 1/8 female with a .063 orifice. This seems ideal. Here is the number and description.


Each 2712T488 Brass Flow-Control Orifice with Pipe Thread 1/8" Male X Female, 0.063" Orifice Diameter (Same as 2712T44) $7.43

Shipping is extra, but to CT its cheap. This is the best price I can find. Hope it helps anyone else out. I think running no restrictor in the last few turbos is what led to premature damage.

i get a fitting, braze the end and drill a hole in it. Its cheaper :)... A restricter is just a restriction not much need for debate and quality analyasis*. :shrug:

Good for t3 center sections. It's the 7/16 and the wacky metric ones you need to find now. :4 ($11 is outfuckenrageous to ship that small of a part.)
