I often have customers confront me with the question of where to get their oil supply when buying an upgraded rebuilt turbo from me. As long as it's a TD05H, the answer is simple...but T3's? Holsets?
I know the answers are out there in random threads, but searching for specifics is often difficult and confusing....I wanted to create this thread to help make things easier for those searching.
So let's hear it- where are you getting your oil supply from for your turbocharger? Does it seem to work well?
I understand the factory journal bearing Mitsu turbos get their oil from the head, but is that the ONLY turbo (aside from ball bearings units) that you should supply from the head? Anyone running their Garrett T3's or other journal bearing turbos from the head, and why?
How come all factory Mitsu turbos have their line from the head, but most 2G install kits come with a braided stainless line that goes to the filter housing? If the head is the best source for a Mitsu turbo, why change?
How about restrictors....I know they only restrict volume and not pressure; but are they only needed on ball bearing turbos? If not, when would you use a restrictor for a journal bearing application?
You guys see what I'm getting at. Any input is appreciated in advance!
