I was reading through the FAQ on the turbo oil line stuff for the T-25. If i am using a t3/t04e can i use the same axact parts? Does the larger turbo need less oil restriction than the .060" restrictor gives? and does the fitting for fitting the 90* angle of the ss line into the T-25 fit in this turbo also?

I was wondering the same thing...I did a search but the oil restrictor info were for T25/T28's...thanks! I would think you need more oil for a bigger turbo but I could be wrong?

A turbo bearing operates best at certain oil pressure and volume. Too much oil and the turbo seals will start to leak and burn off oil and shortening the life of your turbo. A restrictor helps to keep too much oil from entering the turbo.

There's someone on the forum who makes a restrictor for the t3/t04e. I forgot how much it was but I have one on my setup.
