Oil feed line

Oil feed line
Ok, is the stock line on the turbo a good restriction, to let the turbo only get 30ish psi of oil. (The line that is on the turbo it's self.) Or will I need to run a smaller line + an adapter to it? I tired searching, only found out how to make the restrictive pill or line. I am using an oil filter sandwich, and running a line to feed the turbo, (this is a n/a engine).
Sorry i've tired searching and no luck. Or what would be a good line to run the oil, so it doesn't blow the seals in the turbo.
Thanks in advanced.

Lucky for you I happen to be browsing Garret's webpage .
"Journal-bearings function similarly to rod or crank bearings in an engine - oil pressure is required to keep components separated. An oil restrictor is generally not needed except for oil-pressure-induced leakage. The recommended oil feed for journal bearing turbochargers is -4AN or hose/tubing with an ID of approximately 0.25".
Be sure to use an oil filter that meets or exceeds the OEM specifications."
The stock oil feed line looks to be 1/4" but I'm not sure.
