Anyone know how to remove the oil restrictor from a garrett ball bearing turbo
The turbo it's self does not have a oil restrictor in it. Oil restrictors would be added to the oil feed line, or the fitting that the oil feed line runs to.

Look in the oil feed line coming into the turbo. Usually the restrictor is threaded into the fitting that screws into the turbo. It will look like a small round jet that is removable with a flat blade screw driver.
I think what you seeing there in the inlet ofthe bearing housing is soewhat of a oil restrictor but it also a locating pin if you want to call it that for the ball bearing turbo like a GT25__R or what ever turbo your using. All the GT-R turbos have it.
Thanks for the replies guys.
The center of the restrictor is threaded and there about a .040 hole in the side wall where the threads are, I'm thinking it is pressed in and you can use the threads to yonk it out. Makes sence if it is a locating pin. I tugged on it a little and it did not move.
So Should I Put More Grunt to It???
I am working on improving my oiling system on a Polaris Sorry I’m really stating to dig this 2 stoke turbo thing, I realized I missed the smell of it, oh ya the power is there to. I know this is not the place for a stinkin 2 smoker, it just that there is a wack of tunners on this forum that know the workings of the Garrett R type turbos.
The balled up Garrett can survive on very little oil, drill out the orifice and you won’t need squak for oil pressure to make it happy, a small 12v pump will do.
But of coarse nothing hauls like a good old reliable turboed up Yamaha.
