I own a set of Earls S14 (Frsport) turbo lines for my Stock Turbo on 1 of my cars (not sure if it has a restrictor = not a BB turbo anyway), and just recently Bought a GT2860 from someone (KA-T guy) that Included an oil line on it but has no Banjo fitting.

Its damn near 2ft long though,...and the Freaking fitting is on there so good/squeezed in a Tight spot,you need to separate the turbo to get it off it seems.I don't want to do that

Wanna make sure it has a restrictor in it since I don't feel like separating the turbo to Get it off to install a Proper Earls Oil line in its place that I have w/ a Banjo fitting on 1 end.

You can see how its Wedged between the Housing.I can get it to spin @ the bottom just a bit but then it Hits the other housing and won't "Split" the fitting to free it up.

Looks like I'd need to alost r-clock the turbo to get an Earl's line to Fit good between there anyway.DAMNIT!

damn - No one?

Garrett GT2860RS turbo - what size Restrictor do I need or is it considered the "LINE" (in diameter) itself as the Restrictor?

that line looks like a regular -3AN line, you still need an allen hex key type of restrictor screw into your -3AN flare to 1/8"NPT male-male adapter.

For journal bearing, use 0.063", BB turbo use 0.042" or 0.035" restrictor.

its been known that the oil restrictor is built into the banjo bolt itsself. im not completely sure about this because some people say it is, yet other people say go buy an oil restrictor
