I have just seen a forum on Oil Line Restrictors for turbos? How do you know if you need one? Is it by horse power? Thanks.

a restricter is used to lower oil pressure going to the turbo, mostly when the oil is cold.
if you have an oil press. gauge, you will notice, that at start up, the pressure is up in like the 50s-60s, but once warm, and at idle, 10-15 psi is normal.
the turbo seals don't like a lot of pressure- they just want the lube.
the restricter, well, restricts, the pressure.
frankly, IMO, if you have a properly sized feed line, say -3an, i don't think they are remotely necessary.

Went from oil filter to cyclinder head with a 6an then to the turbo with 4an. I have a prodrive gear and looking 550hp. Thanks.

I have no idea what your talking about. If you could explain what is an optimal setup for feed line sizes and fittings, that would be really informational.
