I just got done porting my oil relief valve. Does this look big enough? I have no BS or oil squirters. I stopped here because I believe its bigger than the inlet hole to the valve, so I figured porting it any bigger would run the risk of not sealing and wouldn't help anymore anywho. Never done this, so trying to get some input.

I opened mine up a bit more than yours and i'm still seeing almost 100psi at 6k. I squared mine off a bit more at the top of the piston so initial opening would release more oil, that's where mine is opened up more than yours.
 
i just left mine, i called the local cox racing, they said the reason why they dont make high pressure oil pumps is because you can eliminate the balance shafts to have that high oil pressure. theres no such thing as too much oiling. The guy told me they do things to increase oil pressure and not take oil pressure away he said that was stupid. dont take away oil pressure unless its causing you problems.

Theres a thing called too much oil pressure. And with too much pressure it'll find a place to come out of. Besides that, some turbo's aren't ment to see the oil pressure our engines can produce.
 
Thats what restrictors are for. People just dont seem to grasp that (not directed towards anyone).
