) what turbo do you have (brand, model)------GT40 88's
2) are you using a restrictor in the oil feed line? yes
3) what size restrictor? .070
4) what oil pressure does your engine see near redline? 70
5) has the restrictor cured your smoking issues? yes
6) lastly, if you have used a restrictor in the past and it cause problems please post up some details
7) what size oil feed line do you use? -4
After 1000mi of not using any restrictor, car began to smoke. Pulled the feed line off today and set it in a 2l bottle. Fired up the car for a sec and it filled the bottom completely.
Then put in 2 n20 jets drilled to .070, no more smoking.

Too much pressure/ volume pushes oil past the seal.
My .060 with my T76 T-netics works fine. No smoking at all.

hey guys... has anyone with a NEWER T-series netics unit used a restrictor as discussed above? I've got a netics T-66 very high mount with a great gravity drain, and the turbo has a built-in oil filter at the inlet which must stay there according to tech support at turbonetics. They say a reducer shouldn't be necessary, but a couple times at startup I'll get a good blue smoke show as if oil got past the rings. I just want to make sure that it's ok to combine this oil filter and a restrictor as well... so that I know I'm not starving the turbo.
TIA,
Kevin
