I don't know that I can drill a hole big enough for .032 in the little 10mm head.
edit: Just called and switched to the .032. Thanks for the advice.
so safety wire experts, do you recommend lacing these or the standard twist? I think twisting pairs, on different flanges is the way to go because I creates fail safes on each flange which holds the chra to the housing.
I'm also going to do my fluid drain plugs too. This will help me sleep at night.

Translation: it's probably overkill to lace it and it's a pain in the *** the get it just right.
A nice picture with diagrams of you are gonna safety wire would help for critiquing.

OK so you got a jig to do it yourself...great. Do you still want another set? Are you going to do Nicks too?
I was going to mention that uglyass oil drain block but I figured it works so leave it alone, but if it hurts clearance...it's ugly.
And holy shitznit that EWG is getting hot! It shouldn't be that orange (this was anodized black initially people).
I roll with this .035" ATP restrictor.

See here for more diagrams... they only show up to three bolts but you can do as many as you want in a string, just be careful to always have the bolt being pulled in the tighten direction.
Safety wire, proper safety wire technique for using safety wire on ultralights, and ultralight aircraft.

Its even lighter now, lol. The blow off and WG were the same color at one time, lol.
The oil restrictor is drama because BEGi does not use AN thread pitch, its something else. Are you sure that .035 is not too small for tracking?

You want that restrictor, over oiling a bb turbo will kill it. It has much tighter clearances, and does not use oil flow to cool the center section as much as the water does. This is somewhat in converse to a journal turbo where it needs higher flow to maintain an oil film and oil is used to cool everything.
