I needed a restrictor for my turbo setup and couldnt wait to order one, so I came up with this.................So far, it works perfectly. I used a brass 1/8-4an adapter at ACE ($2.49) and a nitrous 57 or 60 nitrous pill ($4.99). I sanded down the AN side all the way down to where the threads started, and then pressed the pill into the sanded side with a shot of red locktight. Its a tight fit, so I used a small vice..............and Valllahhhh....Works good, no leaks! Hope this works foryou.

good shit looks exactly like the real thing. What turbo is this going on? Do i need restrictor for t67? I had one on my gt30 but unsure if i need on t67.

This one just went on my t3/t4. I assume you would need one, but not for sure....maybe one with a bigger or smaller hole....

Restrictors are commonly used on ball bearing turbos that don't require very much oil pressure to be lubricated. Honda motors typically have lots of oil pressure (70-80 psi) which is excessive for the Garrett ball bearing turbos therefore restrictors are needed. They're not needed on bushing turbos though.

t3/t4 bushing turbos dont need restrictors though.....otherwise, good idea.
