smoke We had the same problem with my friends 101mm car. The motor had alot of oil psi 75-90psi. We installed a T fitting with a gauge right on the turbo. With normal oil (30weight) we used a .027-.035 jet and had about 20-30 psi of oil under a load. We changed to Royal Purple and had to increase the jet size to .060 for the same 20-30 psi of oil. Any more than that and we would get some turbo smoke. Its been over a year without any problems.

Line I can't remember -4 or -3. It cam off a Nitrous Express kit with 1 single Shark Nozzle. We just used a N2O line(I think -3) -4 fitting on one end and a -3 fitting on the other. If you are worried, just install a T with a small oil pressure gauge to check it. We wait until the engine is fully warmed up. WE also had a -10 return(drain). Turbos don't take much oil. You need to get Corky's Bells Book (Maximum Boost) We just followed his guide line on the oiling. It has worked.
