Mine is almost closed, so I shut it and then open it just a little bit.

its weird because these questions where never asked up untill a month ago... it seems that nobody used a restrictor on any of there turbo kits before then :-\

I use my oil pressure to adjust mine I'd say it is safer to do it that way than just guess. I have mine set similar to hotrex 35psi at wot

From what I understand, up to 75psi is a safe oil pressure.
Most setups dont need a restrictor

??? o remember reading that some turbos only need like 30 somthing psi, so why kill the seals with 70-80 psi?
