Oil restrictor too big?
I got my s5 t2 turbo rebuilt to a hybrid. My engine has high oil pressure regulator. I was wondering what size regulator should I use?
I built a plate to sandwich between the turbo oil feed line. I figured teh stock line was almost 1/4". I drilled the restrictor to 1/8", but I found this one website that sells turbo oil presssure restrictors and they were .035". Is my 1/8" too much?

if your turbo is a journal bearing (non-ball bearing) turbo the restrictor should be about .09 of an inch.
.035 is too small.
you can find a drill bit in that size amongst the Dremel stuff.
