Stock turbo oil restrictor question


Recommended Posts

Hi guys. I have a stock 1997 R33 GTST. Recently I discovered my exhaust manifold had literally cracked itself in half. Thought I should replace the turbo's oil line while I was in there because it was a bit dented. I bought a cheap kit on eBay for just the oil line (specifically for my engine with the stock turbo) and it came with a new oil restrictor banjo bolt, which looks to be a smaller restrictor than the stock one. Stock one looks like 1.5-2mm while the new one looks more like 1mm. Should I run the new restrictor bolt or the original one?

Turns out the original bolt has the same size hole, just further in. I probably should have just run the original one in the first place, but it's all back together now and I can't be arsed changing it. 

And nah, I just reused the original hardware. Car's only got 100k on the clock, it was all pretty fresh. I just picked up a used manifold for $30, got it machined, and put it all back together with some MLS gaskets.
