Like Pat, said above. Cut the flare end off the oil supply fitting on the turbo, add N2O jet and screw your oil supply line back on. I'm using an .109 restrictor, no smoke except after braking real hard.

Got a .032 N2O jet, drilled it out with a .109 drill bit.
To be used on a GT42's on LS1s only and only if you are filling up your DP with oil....don't know about other turbos. Garretts are known to be smokers out of the box because of the oil supply issues. I only recommend this if you have a GT42 with a smoking issue and you have your oil drain line figured out. I take no responsibility for smoked turbos(lack of oil supply)

I think if the turbo sits high enough and you have a big enough return line then you will be ok.

should I be concerned Since it spilled that oil into my DP, is there any damage, like a broken seal or anything else I should look for?

Same here. The oil just burns off after a while.

Might work. The biggest thing is to get the oil drain line to slope down as much as possible. Also use the biggest line you can use.
