the needle valve isnt really about pressure. its about amount. i.e. size of the feed line.

-4 or -3 an act as a regulator on the pressure. most people seem to have good luck with either.

Well, it *may* create more pressure on oil coming into engine parts.. but lessens pressure coming to turbo itself - and this is waht's all about.
Luckily, I dont have such problems as my turbo ain't smoking
