This seems like a no brainer but... oil restricter?

Running an HX25 with an external wastegate on my OM617. Is anyone familiar with these holset turbos? The oil feed appears to have a built in restricter but I just wanted to verify I could plumb straight into the turbo with oil.

I cut and pasted this from Garrett's website. It applies to all turbos.

Oil Supply & Drainage

Journal Bearing Turbo

"Journal-bearings function similarly to rod or crank bearings in an engine - oil pressure is required to keep components separated. An oil restrictor is generally not needed except for oil-pressure-induced leakage. The recommended oil feed for journal bearing turbochargers is -4AN or hose/tubing with an ID of approximately 0.25. Be sure to use an oil filter that meets or exceeds the OEM specifications. "


Ball Bearing Turbo

"An oil restrictor is recommended for optimal performance with ball bearing turbochargers. Oil pressure of 40 - 45 psi at maximum engine speed is recommended to prevent damage to the turbocharger's internals. In order to achieve this pressure, a restrictor with a 0.040' orifice will normally suffice, but you should always verify the oil pressure entering the turbo after the restrictor in insure that the components are functioning properly. Recommended oil feed is -3AN or -4AN line or hose/tubing with a similar ID. As always, use an oil filter that meets or exceeds the OEM specifications. "

"OIL LEAKAGE SHOULD NOT OCCUR ON A PROPERLY FUNCTIONING SYSTEM IF RESTRICTOR IS NOT USED UNLESS THE SYSTEM PRESSURE IS EXCESSIVELY HIGH. "

Yep read that. Problem is the hx25 appears to have an integrated restrictor. This turbo is common on 4bts., maybe I'll ask those people.

The engines these were used on use about 60 psi. An om617 has 120 psi approximately. if you want to overwhelm the holset bearing seals--this is a good way--just run this restrictor , or do away with any restrictor.

How did you mate the hx25 to the intake, and how do you like the performance? Thanks.
