Alright i just purchased the S256 in a T3 V-band with extended tip technology and was wondering where to get the oil from. It is a journal bearing turbo. My car is a stock 7 bolt and still has the balance shafts. I don't want to blow this turbo!!!
 
Rightfully, you should check your line pressure before installing this turbo. I believe I read on the Bullseye forums a while ago that the BW turbos like no more than 65psi of oil pressure at the inlet.

Filter housing unrestricted would be my first guess; add restriction if necessary.

Some guys are having luck drawing the BW turbos from the head, but these are on highly modified applications which have the balance shafts eliminated and most likely have higher oil pressure than your stock engine has.

Cool thanks, you have been very helpful!
 
I have read that you can buy a restrictor from bullseye that fits where the feed line goes on top of the turbo. Anybody know where i can buy the one from bullseye? i have searched
