Default Oil restriction for MP T70

I am currently running a -4an inlet (non-restricted) and believe I am pushing too much oil through it and want to restrict it down. I have another -4an flange that has a restrictor hole in it I can drill to whatever size I want. I have heard many running in the .060" range, what is your opinion?

I ran the same on my MP T70 for 600 miles then took everything a part to paint the pipes......I had oil coming through the seals. I bought a restricter that was posted on here about a month ago. Drive it for the first time yesterday and no oil leaking through it.

I'll see if I can find frcfed98's post about it.

That'd be awesome man if you could... I don't want to burn up the turbo with too little oil, but too much can do what it's doing now, pain in the you know what having oil everywhere. Hope to hear from you soon.

The restrictor can be bought on ebay. I can't access ebay here, but do a search and I'm sure you'll find it.

I physically have the restrictor already, just have to install it. Might as well pull the turbo out to tighten all of the bolts and to clean it up.

.035........bought the turbo from forcedinductions...jose said to use that size....also had to put a flow control valve on it so it would cut the pressure down (tapped in above oil filter)
