I’m not sure how much this matters but I just wanna treat this new Holset right so I measured the inner diameter of the oil feed fitting and I wanna know if it’s right . The one end is 5mm inner diameter and the other is 4mm which comes out to just about the size of the inner diameter of a -3an fitting

Are you asking if you should add a restrictor or not?

Where are your feeding oil from?

Most people are running straight -4an from the filter housing unrestricted for holsets, as long as you have a good drain you should be fine.

Agreed. The drain is more important than the supply. You can run either -4an or -3an with no restrictior but make sure you use a large drain.
 
Unrestricted from the filter housing is recommended as long as two conditions are met:

1) The pressure at the inlet is at or around 75psi peak with a 4AN feed, and
2) The drain is the recommended 12AN or 3/4" I.D. tube.

Any other condition may require the use of a restrictor...unfortunately none of us can tell you what size is needed, except you want the restrictor to only be as small as needed to cut flow enough to meet 75psi at the inlet. Using smaller than needed will substantially shorten the life of the turbo.
 
No matter what line or restrictions you put in the feed line, if you don’t have a good drain, your turbo will suffer.

If you have a good drain, you can use no restrictions, but depends on the drain is the restriction you will have to use., in o other words, the amount of oil inters the turbo needs to flow freely out of the drain line. So there is no just pressure set to run the turbo , but to evacuate the oil is entering from the turbo.


Thread was answered in much clearer terms by others, you have added zero value to this thread. :thumb:

What are you even trying to say? "So there is not just pressure set to run the turbo , but to evacuate the oil is entering from the turbo"? Whaaaat?
 
Your telling me this is too small ? I’m not planning on pushing a crazy amount of boost
