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?

so is it safe to say 1/4 open would be ok for the turbo?

it would be safer to adjust with your oil pressure gauge ;)

best with an oil pressure gauge.

Most people use them to avoid smoking, in that case go with the most oil you can without getting the white smoke.
