Question Apexi/IHI RX6 Turbo Oil Feed Line Restrictor?

- Does my turbo (Apexi/IHI RX6), come with a built-in restrictor for the oil feed line? If not, what size restrictor will I need?

I know this is old, but i just bought a fd with the apexi ihi rx6 turbo and the turbo smokes at idle but not when driving. If it needs an oil restricterr, where do i buy it from?

Do you have a blue adapter fitting on the center cartridge? This is the original fitting sold with the kit and the restricter is built in.
My research showed that it is a very odd size on the cartridge side, and is 4AN on the hose side. Someone custom made the fitting in the picture I attached.

Try to call Apexi USA and see if they can sell you the part. They sold me a new wastegate diaphragm for the kit.

Actually the turbo does have the restricter. Found out the smoke is actually from running rich and corroded spark plug wire contacts on the leading coil. It was actually unburnt fuel that i was smelling.
