Default No more smoking!

After reading on here about my smoking problem, I decided to add an oil restrictor. So, I went to my local autoparts store and found a hydraulic fitting with a restrictor in it. I bought a drill bit and drilled the hole out to .070 and installed it on my turbo's oil feel line.

Before it looked as if my car had just done a burnout there was so much white smoke in my rear-view mirror. It would smoke worst under deceleration, some at wot and mild at part throttle, with none at a steady speed. Now I only get some under wot and some during deceleration, but it clears up quick. FYI 80 psi oil pressure wot, 70psi half throttle, 40psi cruising and around 20psi at idle. 15w-40 rottella-t oil.

Just thought I would share with everybody!

20psi at idle
Is that engine pressure or oil feed line?
