> [@BoostedITR41](#): > > all ball bearing turbos need an oil restrictor Ehh not really … but why buy a 1300+ dollar turbo and skimp on a 11 dollar part to make it last longer. It will still thread up without one so in reality you dont need one. Its like saying its water cooled so I HAVE to run coolant through it. Again not really but it does help in how long the turbine lasts. ---
