Hey guys my new feed line came in with an adapter plate and gasket. The plate has a tiny pen hole. Do I drill it out bigger. My old line was screwed straight in. That's how the previous owner ran it. It's a turbonetics t3t4

dont drill it! its meant to restrict the oil so it dosent flood the turbo with oil.

So your saying the previous owner was flooding the turbo? Because he had the line screwed straight in

not necessarily. it depends on the turbo and manufacturer of the turbo, some turbos require an oil restrictor in the feed line. Sometimes if a proper oil restrictor isnt installed then the oil pressure could get too high and cause leakage through the seals in the turbo, flooding the turbo.

Before installing you should do a little research or contact turbonetics and see what they suggest to run. Last thing you need is to put it all back together just to have to take it apart and rebuild your turbo.
