Here's enough proof for me to never feed a journal-bearing Garrett turbo from the filter housing without a restrictor:
Mitsu oil supply inlet- notice the tiny, pen-point-sized hole in the bottom of the inlet:
Garrett T3 oil supply inlet- notice the 5/16" hole in the bottom of the inlet:
Now which do you think is going to dump oil through, possibly overflowing the center cartridge and causing premature journal bearing wear and oil seal damage?
I'm with turboglenn and 92awddsm on this one.
