Spoke to Turbonetics
Ok, for an oil FEED restrictor... I'm running a 1/4 inch feed line to the turbo, and the drain line is a 3/8 inch return connected directly to the Turbowerx Exa Pump scavenge pump, capable of 3 GPM and it then returns to the oil pan. I'm running the factory new ls6 oil pump which runs ~45-60psi I believe.
Word is NO RESTRICTOR necessary. Even on my ball bearing
We will test this and see, I do however believe that we will be fine without.

Great build thread, What rear end/gears did you go with? also, do you know what kind of gains you saw with the FAST 90/90 setup, how is response with it compared to other intake setup?

3.42 rearend gears. Saw a 14HP and 16TQ overall gain. It was worth going 90/90, however they no longer make that combo, everything is 100+ that I know of now.

it actually went up a complete inch or so from where I had it, lol. To be able to fit the hose under the axle like we want, it can't go higher. especially with this 12 bolt

will have some new pictures and probably some new videos shortly.
god the turbo sounds like a freaking jet engine throttling up.
running NO restrictor w/turbowerx exa-pump and 3/8 return line, no problems whatsoever. good straight return path also.
