Turbo Oil Feed Restrictor
I'm rebuilding my S5 stock turbo and am planning to use a -4AN feed from the oil filter pedestal. I've seen references that rebuilt or modified turbos need a restrictor. I have the turbo apart but don't see what difference between the new and old parts could make. Do I need one?

i was asking hte same question and had no replies too. The restrictors are usually for ball bearing turbos. But my engine has higher than normal oil pressure, and I used to have oil burning issues with my turbo.
I made my own restricto ouit of a thin piece of alluminum the same size of the flange. I forgot the size of the hole
