I have a crank scraper for a 1.5 if you want it.

So basically all the kits that are for sale, greddy/fmax/drag/fullrace/maxrev/edlebrock.. Note how those kits dont have any type of oil restrictor valve, nor have I ever had to use one. Why would this be needed?

Do you have a juiced up oil pump from the factory or what

I use 3/4 on my returns, those little barb fittings that come with the stealthmode and tunertoyz kits are way to small imo.

They also don't come with any type of REAL fuel management, but that's kinda an important part of a turbo setup. :P

True, but I've just never seen the need for one of these. I mean, I've had some real half assed setups over the years and not one of them ever had the problem with to much oil pressure. Beau even used a big *** 3/8 oil feed line one time and it didnt have problems. Maybe our cars just have really weak oil pumps

dude did projekteg weld up your downpipe?

Don't be happy for the guy that it works, tell him he's a dipshit for thinking he needs something that just took the smoking out of his setup.

One thing my new t3/t4b turbo lacks that my old straight t3 had, is a restrictor at the oil inlet. Mines a straight shot to the center section. However I ran both turbos on both motors and it only started smoking after I put the fresh Y7 in. It smoked so ------- bad, It would fill up the cockpit sometimes and almost gag me out of the car. Obviously the t3/t4b smoked the worst of the two snails.

I would guess the people who sell those turbo kits also have appropriatly sized restrictor holes on their turbos?

You know hey, I can't speak for everyone else. I was just posting up that this 10 dollar item basically made me not want to burn my car. It was becoming a real displeasure sitting at work smelling like burnt oil all day because I had to ride in a car full of smoke. Not to mention its really embarassing pulling up to the street races with a 1/4 mile plume of smoke behind you. I just figured I probobly wasnt the only one out there fighting this (obviously not since he sells these things) and that it does indeed work.

If your setup doesnt smoke, more power to ya.
