T04R oil line pressure

What oil line pressure does this turbo use?? What size restrictor is best considering I am using crank oil jet mods so the pressure is lower than normal.

Or the size of pipework.

Basically I need to make an adapter to fit over the oil gallery, but will be 1/4inch pipe then tig a restrictor on the end to screw the oil feed on.
Make sense?????

Here is the answer I received from cheapturbo. My TO4R comes from them:

If its the standard bearing we still do not advise to run a oil restrictor we don't run them if you have a good oil return and a standard -4 line you will be fine

I would not run this on a standard bearing turbo you will starve it of oil, I would run a -4 line and -10 return.

-4 is equal to .25" -10 is equal to .625" the smallest diameter recommended for the drain .5" you can run .5" with no issues at all but it has to be a smooth bend, no kinks.
