Ok so I know this has been covered on a few other threads, and i haven't really found any definite answers on this topic.
So I have the stainless steel braided oil feed line "upgrade" coming for my OFH to the turbo. I know that your suppose to either have a restrictor in it, or have a small enough line to restrict it. THAT being said, I do not think there is a restrictor on the line. No, all that oil pressure has not blown out the seals on my turbo, and it's been hooked up that way for at least 4k Miles. But I am getting some pretty horrible turbo lag.
Yes I do have one of the dreaded CX Racing 20g. Could this turbo lag be attributed to too much oil pressure? I have deleted all the vacuum line except the necessary ones. I have the Monster punishment racing FMIC. I have checked everywhere for possible boost leaks. I do have a Apexi AVCR boost controller and I have verified that my waste gate actuator is functioning properly.
Any input DSM Jedi?
I have honestly had good luck with the CX Racing 20g. It hasn't blown instantly like some people have reported. Yes I wouldn't doubt I'm probably not going to get the mileage out of it like I would with a real MHI turbo or a PTE or something like that.
At the cylinder head the oil pressure is regulated to 15psi, so I'm sure whatever I'm getting from the OFH is going to be more than that.
