All you guys have great input on how to restrict the oil pressure! I've been thinking of ideas but never really put much effort into it. Great job guys!

I like it. Not something I would use but oil restrictors are a must these days for most turbos.

I set screw is the first thing that came to my mind but I did not have any big enough ones that would fit. either way if it works its good. I should have though about this 3 turbos ago.

What sort of PSI range are you shooting for going to the turbo?

30-35
whatever does not blow my seals and still keep the turbo lubed.
obviously the way this restrictor is installed its impossible to check the pressure

Could you not put the restrictor inline with a gauge after it to know the pressure?
