| I guess time will tell if those did in fact fix the problem. Just because the chra contains a restrictor does not mean it would be sized properly for our requirements. It could be that Garrett intended it to be a rough or primary restrictor with the expectation the end user would have to add an additional restrictor to tune for expected oil pressures. If they size it for "common" oil pressure it makes operating at higher or lower pressures damaging. I would set that orifice on the large side so that low oil pressures could be tolerated, and higher pressures could be dealt with additional restrictors in series. If its sized too small, there is no way the end user can increase flow without dissassembly. i.e. "shoot high then tune it back" Wouldn't you agree thats a reasonable scenario? (not being combative just sayin is all... :)
 
Daily driving a TT is like ordering your favorite pizza for breakfast lunch and dinner. It's not healthy and eventually you will lose the magic of the meal. Sometimes you just have to have some meatloaf. My new meatloaf.... 1994 Black Honda Civic DX :D "...people often mistake charisma for integrity. Sure, he's a nice guy, but that doesn't necessarily make him honest (or dishonest). They are independent variables." -Kenny |
