oil leak after Taka oil Restrictor

[airhead]

i just installed taka oil restrictor on my s14 t28 bb turbo.

now i have a large oil leak in that area? wtf??

now my question is does these restrictor need some type of crush washer?

i just installed it raw with no washer at all.

BTW i have circuit sports turbo ss lines

Its like an AN style seal make sure its "Snugged" down real good

I made sure it was tight i snaked a 1/2 wrench and tried to tighten ever more but it seems like thats the far it will go.

i talked to three guys with this same problem.

should i remove the turbo out the motor and try to tighten even more??

its so tight in that area i could bearly fit my hand

[airhead]

there is some thread left that needs to be screwed in but its as far it will go.

do you guys have this much thread left to screw in or did you guys screw it all the way down?

You shouldn't need a washer. I just tightened mine down as far as it can go. No problems. Also, I didn't use a restrictor with my stock turbo, only when I went with the 2871R.

I don't think you need a restrictor for the stock turbo. I didn't have one on mine.

i have an oil leak in the exact same spot, im ripping my manifold off today and gonna tighten it and see if that helps

I hate to say it, but i foresee this thread ending in epic stripping or breaking of the restrictor and/or oil feed port.

I suspect the restrictor is damaged, if you pull it out check for cracks. On CLEAN threads apply thread sealer, make it a habit, do it all the time and you are insured in the future, on parts that have fluid traveling through them of course.

im going to pull out the mani and turbo today

i bought DIF oil retrictor it came with a washer hopefully this helps.

im not going to risk and over tighten the restrictor.
