actually maybe i should rephrase my original question..
i put together my setup about a month back and was plagued with all sorts of random ass oil leaks in the relocator and from the turbo. the turbo wasnt clocked badly and the return line was big enough but the turbo leaked incessantly from the gear housing. now it's burning oil and i have to get the thing rebuilt. if not the restrictor, what else could have caused it to leak like that?

Sometimes that happens with precision turbos, other people have also had this problem. Thats why it is recommended to go ball bearing. I am not sure why we dont use restrictors with journal bearings, but i was told not to.
