thinking about my oil and coolant lines trying to read up on oil restriction but not really getting it. these lines are really starting to piss me off so now im just going to do away with all my old stuff and start new. what do you guys recommend getting. i heard with -3an lines you dont need restrictors since t25s are journal and not BB

General guide from what ive read:

T3 and smaller 3AN or 4AN with .63 restrictor

Keep in mind this is applied to the ka24 only oil psi will very between engines. BB turbos need 40psi with what ever restrictor gets it down to that. <garrett website Journal bearings dont really have a spec because they very between size and manufacture because they ride on "an engine bearing".

WORSTcase oil seeps past the seals then u get a bigger restrictor i dont know if that would cause instant permanent damage?
