It applies to any turbo. At times during normal operation oil pressure decreases at a rate far faster than the shaft speed decreases. An extra quart under pressure.. Boda boom bada bing.. It pressure stays up a good while longer. 
Anyway the turbo came today...
I was busy with work infact 7am to (lunch at 3pm) 6pm then deliver some equipment . A last minute rental of all three of a certain piece of equipment to be delivered way out into the boonies..I got home at 9:15 pm. Good $ long day... "Hey guys you can't run all three off that one breaker... its only a 50amp and they each draw 30amps" Click... Lights go dim... "Umm.... Told ya"
One of those days.
Back to the turbo. Looks good for the money. Not exactly superbling like a FP30 with a polished turbine and compressor housing or anything.
Now I don't know why people bother with buying new EVO 16gs or new 20gs when you can get a wide range of sizes to chose from for little more. I went big.. They look even bigger in cramped engine bays than a office desk conversation piece.. It's dramatic when placed next to a stocker on a table but the clincher is how it looks under the bonnet.
Looks aren't everything or I would of had it polished... I did'nt have time to do anything but look today.
I am pleased so far but was twisting wrenches and putting on parts on anything and everything but my car today. When I have all the pieces of the puzzle together and start tuning is the real test. Assuming I get enough free time to DIY FMIC piping and the intake.. Busy means more disposable income but less time to assemble what you disposed it on..
One funny thing it had in the literature was picture for the right location for an oil line but it only showed a water/oil cooler style filter housing but did't warn of differences. On a 1990 housing you pretty much do the opposite.
With all the 6 bolt swaping going around it should be covered just in case. Most of us here know that I just thought the oil feed disclaimer should be more accurate for all typical applications if they want it to be effective.
They got the clearances dead on on this thing as judged by the finger dial indicator. I might dig out the real one and measure. Yet it spins freely... Not 2BB freely but very smooth for a tight tolerance bushing that at the moment off the car and in your hand has no oil pressure.
