Before you run that turbo you need to take it apart and put in a larger oil restrictor or yours will burn up in no time.

XS Engineering turbos for ya.

from what i hear, as long as you use a -3an line to feed the turbo you'll be fine.... but that is just what i have found out from searching... anyone want to confirm this again?

Mine's been OK for two years now.... Anything to check for to make sure it will still be OK?

A larger oil restrictor? what does that do, where does it go, and why would it need it? I would think that XS would have already thought all this through....
