Am assuming this is the pte bb 57trim right? Anyway all pte bb turbos come with a oil restrictor on the turbo so all you have to do is attach the oil feed line. Make sure it comes from the oil filter housing as taken it from the head will void the warranty according to pte.

I believe a micron filter is pretty much required for ball bearing turbos.

That is only if you want to take it from the head otherwise theres no need for it when taking it from the oil filter housing.

Hm well okay, I shouldn't have said that it's required, butit is highly recommended that you do use a micron filter in the feed line, as even the slightest dirt could mess your BB turbo up. I'd do it just to be safe, if no other reason.

Thats understandable...

Or you could replace your paper-element engine filter with one of these and protect everything.

I have one of the SBR GT turbos and I need one of the 90 degree elbows that will feed into where most people put a catch can but I don't know what kinda of fitting I need anyone else on here know?
