No oil restricter equels low oil pressure
Ok so my turbo kit was but in 4 yrs ago by begi. i think they did not put the restricter in the oil inlet line. Would this explain my low oil pressure.
Thanks

The reality of the situation is that turbochargers, even ball-bearing turbochargers, are pretty effective oil restrictors all by themselves. You'd practically have to remove the bearings altogether in order to flow enough oil through it to meaningfully impact the oil pressure as measured at the engine block itself.
