[QUOTE="olympic, post: 16612857, member: 168598"] Journal bearing turbos need full oil flow and pressure. Mine are ball bearing so they have a restrictor. They don't really need flow or pressure, just oil to be present in the bearing. I verified there's plenty of oil coming through the feed lines. When I pull the turbo (maybe tomorrow) I'm going to have a good hard look at the restrictor. IIRC I re-used the same restrictor on both failed turbos. Maybe it's deformed or clogged. [/QUOTE]
