Hey CSaddict I was wondering if this piece worked out well for your setup? I am considering going and picking one up from McMaster (10 mins away from me) soon but I would like your input before I go buy it.

I grabbed an old 1/4" pressure REGULATOR from work. The pressure regulator is like an adjustable orifice controlled on pressure so you have almost no restriction when your pressure is below your setpoint but once the pressure comes to your setpoint it holds it there. A straight orifice will restrict flow (pressure drop) at low pressure and high pressure.

I just took my vice-grip and squished the hard line untill I got the pressure I wanted. Did'nt cost anything, but I do have a $11 oil pressure gauge to monitor it.

What oi pressures do you all run your turbos at, and type of turbos do you have?

I made my own restrictor from a Homecheepo water line fitting...it's one of those brass tap fittings that tap the cold water copper pipe for a water supply to your fridge (if you have like a built in ice-maker ). It ends up looking something like the adjustable valve shown in the pics above and cost me about $2 to make

I usually keep any turbo restricted to 40psi and lower.
