I'm not sure if any of you caught the thread, but we finally finished up my install a week or so ago. I've put a couple pics at the bottom just in case someone didn't (catch them). Car's running great (overall) and my air/fuel ratios are right where they should be.
However, I'm getting WAY to much oil to the turbo at this point and I think it's bogging it down to the point where it won't even spin. When I rev up to 3k+, you'll see oil pressure shoot up to 60+ psi. I didn't tap the block for oil, I actually used a 3/8" line coming off an add-on part that bolts up underneath your oil filter (can't remember what the stupid thing is called, but you can buy it pretty much anywhere. I snagged it off my spare motor--the guy who owned it before me installed it.)
I've already talked to Shifted about this and I know that I have to be somewhere around 10psi or so at WOT. Was wondering what size line people are running, who's experimented with needle valves to adjust pressure, and whether this amount of oil really COULD bog the tubro down that badly. Thanks in advance for the help, guys!

Lol...sorry, man. I thought you had me saved in your phone
Any words of advice for me, now that you're here?
do you have a restrictor on the oil feed to the turbo?

Right now, no. The 3/8" line is wide open and pretty much subject to the same pressures as inside the motor.
www.atpturbo.com sells a .060" restrictor specifically for T3 and/or T4 turbochargers.
