I am sure it will proberly be fine with or with out but I am still curious.
I am fitting a gt2871 and have brought new fittings and banjo bolts, but on removing the stock oil feed block banjo bolt I notice that it has a restrictor fitted.
I assume this is a .065 restrictor for journal bearing turbos?
Question is why is this fitted, and am I best off keeping this original bolt or using a normal banjo bolt with the bb turbo?
Did Nissan fit this as a completely unrestricted line has to much pressure even for a journal bearing turbo?
If this is the case maybe I would be best off keeping it to lower the pressure a little as I am not running any other restrictors other than the stock one built into the bb turbo.
Then on the other hand although highly unlikely its another place to get blocked and its also before my feed filter,the hole is obviosly not as small as the .035 bb restictors so maybe not a cause for concern?
So go with the stock .065 banjo restrictor or not?
