Oil Feed Restriction

i am going to go single quite soon with a T04S. just wondering if you guys know what type of restrictor i should put in the oil feed line if any. i know the rx6 kit comes with a feed line restrictor, and i don't know if my turbo is going to come with any fittings when i buy it. i am piecing together my own kit and was just wondering what you guys thought about it. lemme know
thanks
harrison

ps if it matters this is on an FD, i'll be using the obx manifold, hks wastegate, PFC 850 pri 1300sec full exhaust and a Vmount combo and all neccasary block off plates. oh and turbo will have a .84 hotside, so it should fit on the manny fine without hitting anything

I've heard mentions that if you use smaller line that you wouldn't have to have a restriction. Believe the size mentioned was -3 line to the turbo = no restriction needed. Don't quote me on the FD, but this is my plan on my RE motor...

A while back it was recommended that you use a .060 -.085" orifice. To be sure ask the guy your getting the turbo from.
