    Default oil restrictor...

    Just recently installed turbo on my b16 and was wondering If I need a restrictor?
    Ive searched HT and all I got out of that was ppl bickering back and forth. My feed line is -4an with no restrictor. Is that too much? I actually found one guy that seemed like he knew what he was talking about and said that it should be -3an with .06 restrictor?

    turbo is a t04e, motor is b16a3, drain is -10an.

    I dont have much knowledge of turbo stuff so english would be appreciated

    Thanks

    i would use one, cant hurt anything and will prolong your oil seals in your turbo, especially if your running an egay turbo
