Typical b18b oil pressure?
 
Two turbos, the first one the seals were fuckered to begin with and it burned/leaked oil like crazy. I have a newer turbo t3 now and it still smokes a tad. What is the factory oil pressure on a b18b ls motor? I'm wondering if I should restrict the line the little bit incase the pressure is too high.

And yes, my oil return line is okay. Running a stealthmode oil kit.

Don't mean to jack the thread but I also got the needle valve from stealth. Are you adjusting with a pressure gauge or are you just winging it?

Yea, are you using an oil pressure gauge to adjust with?
