Free Garrett Turbo Oil pressure restrictors...
I am getting too much oil pressure on boost, causing some white smoke. I am going to Fab up an oil restrictor to go between the oil inlet and the turbo. If someone will give me the proper diameter of the hole to correctly restrict the oil, I will make these for everyone who wants one.

White smoke is usually coolant, blue for oil and black for fuel.
Are you sure you are not dumping FUEL?

1/8" NPT with Flush Allen Head.
You can thread it into the center section.
You will have to cut the thing down as you will not be able to thread it all the way in due to the NPT threads. My advice is to cut it to about 1/2 thickness.
Then drill your hole. Make sure to counter bore the underside so the oil will spray in a nice cone pattern.
I use a .050 (#50) bit. So far I've not had any problems. But if I were to do it again, I would go .035.

Thanks so much guys. This is a lot better than my plan, which was to create a plate with a hole in it to bolt in between the line and turbo. I am going to go get some fittings and drill the holes and cut and mill them down to the proper size, so If anyone needs one as well, PM me.
