    Depends on the vehicle you are using it on, but I usually use a restrictor on most turbos i install.

    No. Unless it is a ball bearing. What size feed line are you running to it?

    ball bearing typicall need a restrictor but is not required. Standard turbos need just a -3 feed line until you go to a large frame(gt42, s372) turbo which generally needs a -4.
