Ordering one of those and one of these today

Oil Inlet Restrictor - .065" hole size 1/8" NPT (for Journal bearing and larger GT BB) : atpturbo.com

Question is should the line feed into the restrictor then the check valve then the turbo

Or

Line into check valve then restrictor then turbo?

Just called precision again, Grant told me the turbo does not need a rebuild. with a total of ~15 min idle time and no load at all, its fine. he said the seal is like a piston ring and the oil pushes out of the gap in the ring, its not like a rubber seal that blows and once it leaks its fucked. so thats good.

im having the check valve over nighted and will make a restrictor with the nitrous fitting.

Thanks to every one for your help!!

oh and i ended up going with the check valve part number 7768K65 its the male / female 1/8 both side. Ill screw that right into the top of the turbo and screw my 90* 1/8 by -4 fitting into. ill cut the cone off the AN side and put a jet in there. hook up the feed. mount it, and fire the bitch.

Precision also said if it leaks right away, let it run for a couple mins. it might have left over oil in it.

If this ******* thing still leaks, im pushing it out in the road and tossing a road flare through the windshield.

I don't think it will leak. I learned about that check valve the same way when I had my rear mount lol. You're good now.

the piping and turbo wont fit under a truck man, this is a jeep srt8.



smokeshow, im gonna run the restrictor with the check valve. just to try everything possible. if it doesnt leak after a few days of driving, i can always remove it and see if it leaks without the restrictor.

Just make sure the way you plan to install the check valve since it's male/female is the correct direction of flow for it!

yes, i will be screwing the check valve into the top of the turbo and the 90* 1/8npt x -4 AN. their site says that it can be installed in either direction and the CHICK on the phone also told me it can me mounted in any direction.

I ran home on lunch to make sure i have the fittings and jets to make a restrictor and I do. Good thing i have stock loads of parts and misc fittings from previous builds.
