You post a picture of a valve stem on the intake pipe and we are to assume the catch can was connected to it?

You should know from my post that’s right above your post. And if you boost test your car with a valve stem that’s all on you. I block everything off and use a smoke/air machine like it should be done but to each its own.

Dude.. nothing was directed to you before my previous post. You just blew a fuse because i disagreed with someone <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> . There is a difference between taking someones side and telling someone to "fack off"
<hr /></blockquote><font class="post">
I "blew a fuse" because you're polluting this forum with your misinformation. There is absolutely nothing wrong with feeding the turbo oil from the head. And I'm not taking anybody's side here. I'm just trying to keep anybody else looking for good info on this forum from thinking they need to do something that isn't necessary.

Next time try to put in a reasonable argument so people can see that you are probably correct and im crazy and move on instead of “im doing it wrong? Fack off!” And its not misinformation because all MHI turbos have restrictors on them so the extra pressure wouldn’t hurt but the lack of might be a huge problem especially how 99% of us overboost the turbos as it is.

You need to back pedal and put it in a lower gear bud,
I commended you in another thread for removing your galant from the hands of an idiot.
However that doesn't give you free reign to start spouting off like you're the end-all, be-all of automotive knowledge.
The head feed, commonly referred to as "gravity feed" is completely fine for many turbos on the market. the OFH feed mod is of no real importance on most cars/turbos.
Namely those who remove their balance shafts and greatly increase the pressure at the OFH unless porting the relieve valve opening, they will blow some turbo seals with a quickness.
Lets take a look at the turbo oil feed on the 2g, coupled with the T25 I always thought it was a tactic to keep mechanics in a job, higher pressure oil line, combined with a smaller, harder working turbo = lots of dead t25's out there.
Either feed line will work if installed properly and everything else is up to par. Now give it a rest before i put the chicago sector of the GVR4 mafia on your ass. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" />

I am actually very calm and the only reason I made the reply is because the previous poster told me to “fack off”. I hate when im trying to post up something that I think is helpful and then instead of having a reasonable discussion I get a fack off newb post. Iike I said all mhi turbos have restictors built in. I have seen and owned a few t25’s with 150k miles on them.

I dont care what turbo you run its way better pressure to feed it off there then the head. What am i explaining this to a bunch of kids?
<hr /></blockquote><font class="post">
ive got to add one minor detail, possibly irrelevant, and from a neutral standpoint (that could be nit-picking....)
you dont care what turbo you run... its way better to feed from OFH is the jist of what i got out of that above quote.
so.... if the OP decided to run a BB turbo, that requires 15 psi or so of oil pressure, is it still better to feed from the OFH?
(no.)
<hr /></blockquote><font class="post">
Yes. And then you use an inline restrictor depending on what turbo you are running. Some turbos like Garret ball bearing also come with a built in restrictor.
