#101642, "RE: -3AN feed line too small?" In response to In response to 4
Is it possible that this restrictor is too much? I have a T3 with the 360 degree thrust bearing. Recently I put a .030" nitrous jet in line with the supply to act as a restrictor because I thought that I was 'overpressurizing' my turbo with oil causing oil to spew past the seals. I believe that this ultimately is what wiped my turbo's seals and bearing.
Basically the T3's are already restriced on the inside of the cartridge/bearing housing, and I am not sure that it is a good idea to ristrict the oil at all before this.
Any further thoughts?
