Last year my friend ran a t3/t4 hybrid 0.61ar 60 trim i believe it was on his B18B and everything worked great. This summer he wants to put the kit on my B16A and I was looking for opinions on whether or not it would be a good idea to use a restrictor even though not a drop of oil bypassed the seals last year. I was thinking 5/64" or 3/32" since most people I see using 1/16" are doing so because of seals going bad or theyre using a ching chong meow turbo lol. Think it would be a good idea, or should I just go ahead and leave it at full pressure?

 

Why not use a restrictor? I didnt on two turbos and they both started acting like ----. I just got a turbo today and yes it will have one this time. For less than 10 bucks why wouldn't you want to add a little bit of security to your setup?

 

even if its brand new garrett run a restrictor. get a 1/16th from atpturbo.com or if you feel manly rock a stealthmode adjustable like me.

 

Just put the adjustable out of ------- idiots reach so they arent twisting ***** and to find out, hey my turbo has no oil to it!!

 

The only spot I could find for mine to go was right on the pressure t, so that's where it sits. It might be hard to adjust, but it's the only place I could find plus it's hidden from monkeys.

 

lol good point. Thanks for the input guys.

 

I heard it you run 3an line instead of 4an you don't need to run a restrictor....is this true.

 

Heard the same thing, can anyone back this up?

 

Basically but just run a restrictor ---- the ball valves etc as you know for sure you are not running to much pressure.

 

doubtful, im sure it helps but isnt as good as restrictor.
