I spoke to PTE when I bought my scm6152e they told me from the oil filter housing and that oil pressure should not exceed 80psi.

Does a 3065 count in this, since it's pretty damn close to the same turbo.
Actually, I was just asking about posting #'s regarding the 3065.
Depending on the RPM you're intending to run and the condition of the bottom end, it is most likely that you will be way over 80PSI at the housing.
That's what I'm talking about, the FP model. I know you can get the 3065 with a T3 housing. Hell, you can get damn near anything you want today. But, since the 3065 doesn't compare 100% to this turbo, i'll stay out of this thread.
I had absolutely no problems with my PTE 360 degree thrust bearing turbos (several in the past) on my 2.3L stroker with BS's removed. I never ported the oil restrictor either. I had a SCM6031E, a SCM6152E, a SCM6152S and a T4 SCM6181S. Never a problem with them (other than failing under 30-35psi of boost continuously -- SCM6031E and 6152E both of which were replaced under warranty).
I ran a -4AN stainless feed off the oil filter housing and done. Never any leakage problems, over oiling problems, etc. The turbos didn't fail due to oiling issues.
They worked just fine up to 8500rpms with well above 120psi line pressures.
Just some clarification, but the "M" in "SCM" denotes the mitsu bolt on housing. If you had a t4 anything, it wasn't an "M" model.
Sorry, I accidently called my T4 SC6181S as a SCM6181S. It was not a mitsu housing; I replaced it with a 0.81A/R T4 undivided housing.

See, the oil feed line that I got with my turbo is a -3AN stainless. He had told me that the -3AN line restricts the oil enough to were you do not need to buy a restrictor. This is what I was told.
later
curious,ive heard that this turbo doesnt last long.how many miles do you guys got on the 6152s?
Thank you for the post, that was very informative to me.
Where did you end up purchasing the t4 hotside?
