You dont need to prime it, cranking the motor over initialy to get oil presure will feed the turbo, during cranking with the spark plugs out (how you should crank over a new motor to build oil presure) the turbo will not spin, even with the spark plugs in it will hardly turn, only once its started will you need that oil there fairly rapidly.

i run the factory banjo with restrictor off the block, as well as the inbuilt garret one, this is what Cubes does also. neither of us have had any dramas (mine has done a few track days now, and cubes has done 70,000 kms or someshit lol)

I've got an update.

I sent my turbo back to the Garrett supplier Blouch Turbo, along with the restrictor I purchased from ATP. Mike at Blouch wanted to see it. Well I called him back today and he tells me that the restrictor has what looks like to him as a drill bit broke off in it! He said this is what starved the turbo for oil. That ATP should send me a new CHRA. I also contacted the shop that I ordered it from. Dynoformance. I tell the owner Andrew what is going on, he wanted me to keep him up-to-date. He tells me that he has gotten a restrictor from them that wasn’t even drilled all the way out! Now he did say that ATP warranted his turbo with no questions asked. Now I’m waiting for ATP to open and see what they tell me. I’ll let everyone know how it goes.

That's pretty dodgy.

Simon/Cubes: This factory restrictor.. is it actually part of the factory banjo (block side)?

If so I can just reuse the factory banjo and have a braided line soldered (braised? whatever) on?

It is... There is a restrictor in the banjo and bolt. I did exactly that. Reused the banjo and the bolt and had pirtek solder a new piece of bundy tube to it then bent accordingly to the turbo. Lines up perfectly and is actually quite easy to fit/remove. Best of all the turbo oil feed in total only cost ~$40 for a durable solid metal feed. :)

In total my motor has done a little over 70k but the turbo has only done around 12,000km's.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
