OK let me try to make it better to understand. When your crankcase goes positive like with 35 to 40 psi of boost Your gravity drained turbo doesn't return oil to the pan as well.
I never said I had 35-40 lbs in the pan .
then what did you say ?

Look,
Im not tryin to get into a "lets see whos doink" is bigger. Ive never heard of puttin in a oil restrictor to fix a leak in a turbo. Consider its spinnin in excess of 30,000 rpm, id want oil to the bearing in a major way.
Big truck turbos run 25+lbs boost all day long, whats the diff ?
If Garret said so then id like to see it.
