Restrictor did not work they tried a .080 and then a .050 and smoking is so bad they are worried they will get pulled over. DrTurbo we are sending you the TC76MPS is there any way possible to get a new one sent out or do we have to wait for turbonetics to repair mine?

We ended up hand delivering the turbo to turbonetics since they are close to the shop where my car is. We will se if they can find anything wrong with the turbo?

I don't use a restrictor in my FM t76 & haven't had any probs in 1200 miles so far. I used a smaller line than most guys do -3 steel brake line so maybe that helps.

No restrictor on my 60-1. I do run a -12 drain. The drain on the cartridge is 3/4" ID so I just kept it that way all the way to the pan. Probably way overkill but no issues

It's been said that ball bearing turbos require less oillflow than journal bearing units, and tend to require restrictors as a result. I am not sure in the truth to that, but I can say for me it is accurate.

No restrictor and no oil issues to speak of

-TTI race kit (turbo is mounted pretty damn low and gravity drain back)
-Essentially a PTE-76GTS

I started the thread way back and ended up not using any restrictor on my TC76. My smoking problem was a crankcase pressure problem rather than a turbo problem.
