I have searched and searched and read as I always do, but I want to run this by you guys to see what you think.
Ok, no balance shafts, no oil squirters, unported OFH, 1600 miles on a newly rebuild old school FP green, I am feeding the oil from the OHF. Currently no restrictor, and I see oil pressure up to 97psi on my colbalt oil pressure guage, at 8kprm when fully warm. I have taken the intake off the car several times in the last 1600 miles and have always noticed a very small amount of oil just on the lip of the turbo. I would say literaly about 2 drops of oil on the flange of the turbo. I have noticed no smoke at all, and I have looked for smoke when going WOT, but nothing, so not much oil at all is getting pushed past the seals.
I am going to buy the Ball Bearing FP turbo filter directly from FP, and have the machine shop at work mill the hole size on the filter to .075" I DON'T WANT TO OVER RESTRICT the oil flow so just checking what you all think. Here is a link to the one I will buy.

Thanks,
