Thats where mine is at, I have the jet sitting right where the oil line attaches to the turbo. Just had to hack the seat off the brass fitting and slipped the jet right in to replace the hacked seat, then put the oil feed line back on.
No internal restrictor on my GT42 just a hole bigger than the -4an feed line itself

Someone posted this in your last post it has a built in restrictor, looks pretty I think i'll order this and the -10an drain flange as well.

Update ,installed a .062 jet at the turbo.
Cold idle still smokes when warming up- don't know if it was left over or even if it was oil smoke.

Normal driving is fine.
WOT,don't really know since I was trying to keep the car straight but when I looked back after it looked pretty clear.

There is still some smoke on high rpm decel which I figure is the oil since the wideband is showing 14-1 A/F.
Guess I'll try a smaller jet and maybe adjust the return line.

Took a while for me to burn out the oil the first time around, SECOND time around I took off the DP and "cat pipe" and clean both out with fuel injection cleaner, got all the oil out the first time.

My guess is theres still oil in the DP. It does take a while to burn off.

I am fitting a hard brake line right now for my oil feed line, setup is still being built, but I settled on 3/16" SS hardline from the oil filter adapter to turbo inlet.. drain is -12 to pan above oil line.. is this too small? should I go to 1/4" the 3/16" is the same ID as -3an for informational purposes.. what the majority thought on this?

Took the car for a pretty good beat run and it still smokes sitting at idle for 5 minutes or so. Maybe a .055 jet next.

Other than that the car goes good at 10psi The poor 03 Cobra found out

Don,
Is it possible the bearing seal has already been slightly compromised from the high pressure/volume?
