Jacobcurtis New Member 21 Member For: 8y 1d Posted 01/11/17 11:51 AM Share Posted 01/11/17 11:51 AM Hey guys how are ya? Hey I bought a new oil feed line kit for my ba xr6t and it came with a oil restrictor type fitting, I am just wondering if this is going to be a problem because I have heard the Garrett B.B. turbos have a built in restrictor. Does the standard oil feel line have a restrictor built into it? Cause if not I won’t use a restrictor. Thanks guys Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93546-oil-feed-restrictor/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just use what came in the kit. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93546-oil-feed-restrictor/#findComment-1646728 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacobcurtis New Member 21 Member For: 8y 1d Posted 01/11/17 12:20 PM Author Share Posted 01/11/17 12:20 PM Ok it came with a restrictor. so if the turbo is already restricted that means the standard oil feed line is not restricted correct? Cause I don’t want to restric a restrictor does that make sense?
