Message	available for the Z32 are also using 0.035" restrictors, I'm just scratching my head a little, that's all. But, I've seen plenty of Z32's with BB turbochargers with stock lines and none of them have problems. The modes of failure that have occurred before likely are mistaken as overfeeding the turbo with oil, which at this point I feel certain isn't the actual problem people have experienced before.
