Oil restrictor

I doubt they use one. I think garrett wants a certain size orfice with a 35psi supply. I don't think these little pumps can put out too much.
From Garrett's website:
"Garrett ball bearing turbochargers require less oil than journal bearing turbos. Therefore an oil inlet restrictor is recommended if you have oil pressure over about 60 psig. The oil outlet should be plumbed to the oil pan above the oil level (for wet sump systems). Since the oil drain is gravity fed, it is important that the oil outlet points downward, and that the drain tube does not become horizontal or go "uphill" at any point."
The small oil pumps run by turbo builders don't need or use a restrictor.
