Someone let me know if this feed/return system will work good enough.
 
I just need it to work without blowing my turbo seal, and the system doesn't need to be ideal. Just as long as it "HMT" works.

-3an 40inch feed line with NO restrictor
1/2inch drain about 12inchs running down
t3/t04e turbo
probably running 10w40 oil

My engine has a rev limiter of 6,500rpm if it makes a difference

wooohooooooo, I thought the combonation of no restrictor with a 3an line and a 1/2inch instead of 5/8 would make my seals blow, but guess not-=). That was the question.

i would always run some sort of restrictor

with thick oil u can make as much as 90psi of oil pressure

I've ran 3 turbos with a -3 line/no retrictor and never had any problems. They were all pretty new or just rebuilt so i guess I never really had them long enough to know. I'd just get an oil pressure gauge to monitor it.

Well I have a restrictor, but the hole on the restrictor looks to be the same size as the hole in the rest of the fittings, and line. Will there be any point in putting it on?
