    Stock 3V engine with twin 54mm turbos and I'm getting oil in the intake tract so I'm going to put a restrictor in the -3 feed line before the "T" fitting. Taking advice on what size restrictor.

    .050"

    .060"

    .065"

    These are dual ball bearing oil and water cooled turbos. What say you?

    What say I?! I say go with the smallest.. The .050. Personally I go with 40 thousands on my turbo, but that's me. Hence is the decree of Brett the Great. :cheers:

    I had to go to .035 on my BB 57's to stop the oil backup. Garrett said that was as small as they would recommend. My setup is gravity but isn't your setup low mounted with an oil recovery pump?

    if you have metal an fittings just weld them closed and drill em out to the right size. Cheap and easy if you have a welder and drill :welder:

    Yup. Turbos are down around the transmission. Scavenge pump is up front under the headlight bucket.
