Oil pressure on 7AFE Options

[southwest2118]

any body know the oil pressure i should be getting at the TEE next to the filter on the 7AFE? around what?

It's on a case by case basis.

I buy the restrictor, but don't use it, and then I measure the oil pressure right at the turbo. If it's within reason then I go without it and if the turbo doesn't smoke, then I don't use it. If it smokes, then I install it. Either way I give it to the customer to keep so that if the turbo starts to leak oil down the road, they can put it in (if the oil pressure is the problem).

thats exactly what everyone who turbos should do.
good call doc.
also if you dont wanna hassle with all that feed line stuff,
just measure what length you need.
decide which ends you want,
and call atpturbo theyll custom make you a stainless braided -3an line for a good price.
mine is 20" total length, and it was 28$
i did make my own oil filter relocation lines, tho, and if thats the way you decide to go, its not really that hard at all to do, once you get the hang of it.
