another problem here. NEVER use thread sealer on any oil connection. use gaskets, crush washer, or whatever the situation permits. if you must seal things up use some teflon pipe thread tape. that will never get in the way of oil flow.

I used a little of teflon, I think oil starvation was the cause, my buddy civic was bobo turbo was almost destroy after few miles, also he used restrict or, on compressor surge get a turbo with anty surge houseing just to be on the safe side.

that's why i don't small ARs ....

With my Billet67 i was told to use an oil restrictor with my -4 feed never did and never had a problem.
The Precision tech told me to run -3 feed, but my feed was -4 i just went ahead and used it.

Some people don't like Anti Surge housing because "it makes less power" which i don't believe.

Wow thanks for all the replies guys..this forum is so much more of a help than clubna-t where I used to go..

I also think the main reason the turbo died was from oil starvation..the way you guys are describing,that oil feed line should have some good pressure/flow ...my feed is drip..drip..drip ..
Deff gonna take off the feed see if its clogged get it working properly before the new turbo goes on..and get rid of the restrictor ,thanks again guys -chad
