Default Oil Line Restrictor - where to get em'

Ok, been trying to find stainless piece (found brass..which would work) however, has anyone been able to locate a stainless 0.065 restrictor fitting??

The line I have to the turbo is a 1/4 OD aircraft braided line with an ID of .160 ; oil pressure feeding the turbo is ~50psi. With the size of that line further pressure drop will occur.... I would figure I would need the 0.065 restrictor or drill it out to 0.096

Here is the brass fitting, and what would be great is if I could find it in STAINLESS as it would screw right in to the top of my turbo, 1/8 NPT

Some people use nitrous jets for this.

We do package consisting of a 1/8" NPT x -4 anodized aluminum fitting, along with your choice of a .065 orifice (for journal bearing turbos) or .040" (for ball bearing turbos). Retail is under $12 for the complete assembly...pm me if you can't find one locally and I could send you one.
