Hey shortyz, where'd you get the needle valve from? Is that gonna be a Lowes/Home Depot item?

What is the best pressure my turbo is supposed to have i have a TD04H turbo?

Re:Oil Pressure!
 

yeah i like to know what pressure my IHI RHB5 suppose to get...

and again, HOW do i check what my presure is AFTER the needle valve or a inline restrictor? do i have to install another "T" block after the needle valve/restrictor to attach my guage?

Re:Oil Pressure!
 

Here is a diagram I just drew up for you that I did on my INTEGRA. It dropped my PSI's from 70 @ idle to 20 or below.

Additional drop also due to the almost 2ft. extra feed line of different size.

Perhaps if this is good someone will put it in the FAQ.

Hey! New oil restrictor idea.

www.parker.com
F200 Flow Control Valve
$20, stainless steel. Much more reliable than the needle valve. Also, It's got a check valve in it, too.

looks like the same thing as the one from mcmaster.com
not sure how it hooks up tho
