Why put a restrictor in the turbo oil inlet line?
Why a oil inlet restrictor in the Turbo oil inlet line??
I'm talking about one like the one in this thread: http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/me...egory_Code=OIL
The stock does not have one so why would you need one for a *hybrid* turbo?
Or another way to put it: What would cause the *hybrid* turbo (say a HT18 hybrid), to pass oil past the *pistorn ring* or carbon seal whereas there is no problem with the stock HT18-2S dealing with the oil pressure?

it shouldnt need a restrictor. its the same cartridge and wheel/shaft as the stock turbo. only thing you're changing with a hybrid is the compressor wheel, backplate and compresor housing....

The link was a weak link. The one above requires searching the site using the word Restrictor.
I was reading several threads about turbos and adding a restrictor to cut down on the oil pressure going to the turbo supposedly to keep the turbo seals from blowing out/blowing oil.
