main reason I ask is after 2 days of driving it the turbo started leaking oil in to the exhaust. Im sending it to Precision to get it checked out I just don't want to be back in the same boat when I get it back.

do you need to run an oil restrictor with that turbo?

Journal bearing turbos need all the oil pressure they can get. Use a restrictor for ball bearing turbos...

I use a 4an for a journal bearing turbo and a 3an for a ball bearing turbo. Most important is to get the restrictor/fitting size correct. For a journal bearing turbo a 1/8" fitting is perfectly fine. For a ball bearing garret you're looking for a .030" restrictor.
