I've seen people run without restrictors as well, majestic recommends a normal -4 feed fitting.

I was using a dash 3 but with this turbo it states to use a dash 4 minimum and keep
60 psi min when boosting. I talked to Luis from Paradise and he told to use his fitting with the built in restrictor cause of my race oil regulator and high pressure

I get 100+ PSI in the rpms
and 60+ at idle. At idle turbo only needs 25-40PSI of oil pressure

There isn't a factory "race cover" available for the 71 or 75mm turbos. Let me explain what the race cover is. The S400 with a 80mm wheel (S480) is nothing more than a S475 that is upgraded to the 80mm compressor wheel. The stock compressor cover on the 75mm turbo is remachined to fit the 80mm wheel. This is what is called the standard cover. The compressor cover that everyone calls the race cover is actually the factory designed cover for the 80mm wheel,which is purchased separately from Borg Warner. The factory cover is bigger and does flow better than the standard upgraded cover. The standard cover works fine for 95% of the users out there has most people don't push the limits of the turbo very often. But for racers and such who do push the turbos to its limits every run the race cover will add HP. Now with the 71mm and 75mm S400's, the covers that come on these turbos are the factory designed cover with no other covers offered. I have seen other sellers offer a race cover for these turbos, but these are not a factory Borg Warner design.

BW says no more than 60 PSI at full spool.

How much is the race cover with wheel from Bullseye?

Poor guys did not know who they were dealing with.
There's no comparison between those guy's 13B's and the one in Erick's car!
Not to mention his truck supply version of a Borg Warner turbo that is going to drop the thrust bearing into the oil return line the first time it get some real men boost!
I just could not resist Eric!

Wrong Eric.
I have race covers for S372's and up and I can tell you the actual difference in horsepower they make when running at extreme boost levels also.

Oops, I should have quoted that. Majestic wrote that, not me.
