Okay I just purchased a ss braided line set and i have a question about the oil fittings.

this is the set up

and heres a close up of the banjo going in to the turbo (which I think is kind of weird to have a banjo on the turbo side but the other fitting wont actually fit on the turbo side)

And this is the fitting that connects to the block (this does not have a resctrictor at all from what I can tell and has a good size hole)

Okay so the QUESTION at hand. The stock banjo that connects to the block using the stock lines has a built in restrictor from what I can see. Now this braided SS lines instead, have the restrictor on the banjo that connects to the turbo (i.e. the brass bolt on the turbo) Now is that okay? and also I have taken pictures of the bolt it came with and is the hole size okay? or is it to restrictive for a Journal bearing T25 (stock).

Heres a picture of the bolt it self which only has ONE side hole

This is the Inter diameter or ID of the banjo which is about .098 in

and this is a picture of the side hole ID thats about .058 in
http://pic90.picturetrail.com/VOL2335/11805834/20975360/378782944.jpg

WILL THIS BE OKAY FOR MY T25 OR WILL IT NOT FEED ENOUGH OIL TO THE T25 AND BLOW ANOTHER ONE?

that should be fine for the stock T-25...IIRC .060 is what the stock banjo bolt restrictor is.

Okay thats what I thought, its just weird how this SS line kit puts the banjo on the turbo instead of the block. does anyone know the thread and pitch for the screw that goes into the turbo for the oil? I went to oreillys and took that brass banjo that came in the kit but it wouldent screw into any of the holes on the chart. I think its a M12 x 1.00 Please correct me if i an wrong

so would a banjo on the turbo not work?

kamak i believe. I bought it off of ebay and the straight through 4AN to engine block is the wrong size. So I justordered a new one that is M12 1.25, I believe the one they gave me was a M12 x 1.00
