Oil Restrictor

Oil Restrictor
Hello All,
I figured this was the correct place to ask this question but I am new so please let me know if I am in the wrong.
I recently put a CXRacing turbo kit on my 1990 Manual Miata. It comes with what they call a T28 turbo (Seems to be wet float bearings, not ball bearing) and I need to restrict my oil in line to 0.060in as recommended (although I could be wrong).
My question is does anyone know what kind of thread would be in the turbo housing? I have not had any luck figuring it out. I got my hands on a restrictor from a GT28 (I think) that is drilled to the correct orifice however the threads on the turbo side of the fitting seem too fine compared to the fitting that came with the kit and after test fitting, it only goes in maybe 1 turn.
Also to note, I tried running it without a restrictor and it smokes a little when my oil pressure goes up so I feel confident it is not internally restricted.
Any insight is much appreciated.
