I am waiting for a oil restrictor fitting to get here. My car make 100psi of oil pressure and it is pushing some oil through the seal of the turbo. BorgWarner based Turbos are real sensitive to oil supply pressures.
I am gonna try a .060 restrictor and see if that solves it if not going to a .032

This has gone on so long I can't remember if you have a BB, or Journal bearing turbo. If you have BB then save yourself some time and go to the .032 first. The .060 restrictors will not really help a BB turbo on our cars. When I had my Comp turbos converted back to oil fed, they sent me .015 restrictors for them. When I had my Garrett turbos .032 still wouldn't help them but that was as small as Garrett recommended.

I have a journal bearing. It's not too bad and my O2's are not post turbine fortunately so it won't mess with them at all.
We will see since I already ordered the .060"
Lol


Bobby got the warning light setup for the scavenger pump failure

I think the guy in the car next to me will see the warning light if it goes off
Lol

A '13-14 GT500 Bumper cover would likely accomodate that turbo if you removed the lights out of the bumper cover

It's on the dyno @ Dave's now.
Doing low boost driveability tuning still.
Bobby said it hit 5psi on 1/4 throttle at 4k RPM with no load while trying not to go into boost
Lol
He said it spools very quick with light throttle while driving over to the dyno today.

I also ordered a TurboWerx Exa-pump Mini badass scavenger pump to replace this noisy thing that's on there now.

We are also going to put downpipe out the pass front bumper to gain ground clearance

What converter is in the car?

When I had my stock converter on my twin turbo car, it would hit the same 4-6psi just trying to merge on the highway since it was so tight. That will stop once you put a looser one in

I tell inspectors those are cats on my truck...lmao


They will be inline with each other so one in a cat and the other a muffler ;)
That's my story occifer


Any numbers yet?


No we gotta get the oil scavenger pump and oil restrictor in it before any boosted pulls can be made because it's just blowing too much oil out back of turbo right now.

Saturday we are going to get all that done and redo the downpipe with these mufflers and then Bobby should be able to finish tuning it next week

This is the best scavenger pump $$ can buy bar none. All the guys on Turbo Forums and Yellow Bullet rave about this thing!
