    what turbo is it? brand? Size? t3?

    Turbo's don't have a seal, they have a control ring designed exactly like a piston ring. You should not need a restrictor unless its ball bearing.

    Most people refer to the control ring/s as the "seal" because of its purpose. From what ive heard anyways.
