Turbo Banjo Oil Restrictors

[Pezhead]

So, I ordered some 1mm oil restrictor bolts for my -5 turbos but they didn't fit. And they didn't have the ones I needed so I thought I'd fabricate some of my own.

I used the softest 1/4 20 thread pitch bolts from bunnings, some perm strength lock tight and 1mm drill bits from Jaycar.

Nice.. good to see people can still problem solve

Nicely done Eric; that's a smart engineering solution.

[GTSBoy]

Yup. Good. Another idea for making sure that they won't come out is to stake them with a chisel.

Are you sure you need them, Eric? My -5's have been in the car since 2011 and don't have any restrictors at all. No issues to date.

Well my turbos are blowing oil on boost. So this is the most likely fix. Portas had similar issues. I didn't have issues with the old motor but new motor has a high volume nitto pump (with one spring removed). So I think it is a pressure and volume thing.
