Lets talk oil restrictors.
1. They say i dont need one with a journal bearing turbo. I have no idea what my oil pressure is but i'd rather run a restrictor than no restrictor.
2. Would .065" be sufficient on a 14b/t25?
3. Can i run it on the t before the line and achive proper results? I'm running a 1mm restrictor right now. Either the seals on my t25 were already blown or that restrictor was too big.
I'm willing to bet money on my 1/2" return line necking down to a 1/4" barbed fitting on my pan.
What's a nog to do?

I think Stealthmode has cornered the market on restrictor kits. You may wanna PM that little nigglet and see what he can do for you. BTW T25's are ---- and the turbine wheels like to devorce their shafts at high speed.

Sweet stubbs!
Hows that wastegate workin' for ya? Using my screamer pipe?
I figured that 1/4" barb fitting was too ------- small.
Would a 5/8"-1/2" be better? I believe that's what size i'm using on the turbo side of the drain system. (5/8'') I've got a 1/2" npt bung on my oil pan. I may just modify a stock oil tube and use an externally threaded peice of 1/2" tubing with some line between the two if possible. I want the biggest i can get but if 5/8" or 1/2" will work, that saves me the headache and i can keep my braided line i paid $20 for.
I've got people throwing 14b's at me on my local dsm site [shameless plug] www.carolinadsm.com [shameless plug/] and if i dont get raped on the price, i'm def picking one up next week.
Any idea how i cracked the ---- out of my hot side though? Between the wastegate flapper and the turbine inlet flange, it's cracked BADLY, like 1-2mm gaps in the cast. I dont see how. It's not like i didn't idle the car before shutting it off. Could the oil have done it?

Re: Lets talk oil restrictors.
yea, im using the wastegate and it works perfectly. right now its set for 7psi. i like the versatility of it with all of the springs and shims.
i couldnt use the dump tube for a couple reasons. one is that i already made a downpipe and a reciculating dump in one piece. but also, the way the wastegate sits on my manifold it wouldnt allow it.
for your drain, i wouldnt use anything smaller than 1/2". i use 3/4" but thats just cause it was a premade -an hose that i got from work for free. all of my connections ar -an due to free parts from work. lol
