Does the FD twins oil feed have a restrictor? also does this feed line look normal?

ok been having problems with several bad sets of turbos all blowing ALOT of oil.... with a header on there car doesnt smoke at all, so its not the engine.... does anyone ahve any pics of the stock turbo feed line and if there is a restrictor what size it is.

heres some pictures of my feed line im wondering if the feed line might of been drilled out or something, or perhaps one of my return lines is somehow clogged.

The oil feed line looks normal to me. I think you need to find a low mile set of stock turbos. Manny guys will say their turbos dont smoke but when you buy a used set you are basically taking a risk.

He has tried five sets of turbos and they all do the same thing, so I suggested that he check the restrictor oil pill on the turbo. BTW, yes all turbos NEED oil restrictors since 100+psi is way too much for the oil seals.

I don't believe there's a restrictor in the stock oil feed. One thing I would definitely check is make sure the PCV system isn't capped off, that will cause major smoking.

5 sets of bad turbos is pretty impossible, unless you're getting some real bottom of the barrel twins.
