    Some JBs still may need a restrictor, just depends on the turbo. My old PTE 6766 JB needed a .06 Restrictor :-(
    Gotcha. I'm new to this as well. Lol

    Wth these high revving K-series motor, high pressure oil is what tends to blow those JB turbos apart. So, many times they need a restrictor even on JBs. IIRC, my GT3076R needed a .035 restrictor, which makes sense because it's BB

    Tial is your typical choice. Percision, turbosmart ect all work well. Synapse as well. And I would never call it safe but I'd worry about the amount of power you make at a given boost pressure and don't go too high. I ran 18psi on my stock z1. It ran well. And lasted a while.

    You sold the blower? Damn man... I'd be lying to say I haven't been thinking about selling mine too. I'd love to upgrade to a Full Race EFR twin scroll kit on my jdm k20a...

    yeap jacksons gone...

    i bought the Cheap CXRacing Kit, before anything gonna change the Wastegate, turbo internals, and ceramic coat manifold and downpipe..

    may even run the turbo as it is.. till it dies.. then just replace it with a Proper one..

    gonna run it around 11psi and see how how it holds up..

    I actually like the cx racing kit. They have provided a lot with it and I've seen 400hp made with it. That's not too bad for 1600-1800 bucks

    They hold up fine, my coolant temps remained the same - even with my big ass intercooler. Safe to say you should be fine!
