I have a question about oil feed sizes with my Pte Scm34. I realized that my boost is still only at 6-8psi, but before I changed out my oil feed line it, my turbo boosted fine no problem(20+psi).
So when I replaced my old feed line I noticed that the new one was thinner/smaller in diameter(EXTREME PSI : Your #1 Source for In Stock Performance Parts - Oil Feedline Kit (Oil Filter Location): Mitsubishi Eclipse 90-99). I run my feed from the oil filter housing.

So could my turbo be seeing less oil pressure than what is needed to spool up to +20psi? My current oil feed is not leaking whereas my old one was. Honestly, I thought that if it was still seeing oil from the filter housing the oil pressure would be enough.:confused:
 
Since no one replied:
Oil pressure should not matter on the amount of boost being seen. Unless, the return line was clogged, kinked, too small.
If the feed line is too small, your turbo will just burn out.

It used to spool fine with the older line on the same SCM turbo?
Any other work done? Perhaps a boost leak?
