Started my new build up for the first time yesterday and found oil pouring out of the downpipe’s. Called Precision and they chalked it up as a drain problem. Can someone please double check the set up below and verify I should not have restrictors on?

Precision Twin 62/66’s
6AN Feed split to 2 x 4AN Feeds to Turbos
10AN Drains fed into Scavenge Pump plumbed directly into the oil Pan

I did order a TurboWerx EXA Pump yesterday which should increase flow back to the pan, however it seems the consensus is .060 Restrictors for journal bearing turbos.....thoughts?

Precision will tell you to never run a restrictor. They also suggest a 3an. My first one pushed oil they said fix the drain make it a straight shot but I kept having issues. The tech then told me if it keeps doing it use a very small restrictor. After it failed again and started pushing oil they claimed I starved it.

Whats oil pressure at idle?

My motors have always been higher than typical setups. Have to take that into account also.
