Hi, great product, I just purchased this from my local supplier, I have a Garrett 3076r with currently oil restrictor banjo fitting, will I leave this restrictor to control flow as well as the OPR? Or do turbo smart recommend an OPR and no restrictor fitting? Thanks in advance, Shane
Restrictors installed in the turbo's CHRA are vital to ensuring that the proper volume of oil is lubricating the bearings. It is rare that you would see a turbo without any restrictor in the CHRA. A full 40PSI of oil through a -4AN inlet doesn't sound like a great recipe.
Short answer yes, at idle and low speed your oil pump may not even supply 40 psi(probably does though..maybe) but as rpm rises(or you have an aftermarket pump like me) your pressure could be much higher. This could lead to oil blowing past the seals like he said. This is true for both journal bearing and BB turbos. BB cartridges have an oil restrictor to limit flow, not pressure(2 different things) as the bearings need a thin coating of oil to work right, not a full on river of oil like journals do...think of it like a trans versus engine bearings. Trans use roller bearings which need a bath of oil whereas all bearings in the engine have a clearance to run a pressurized layer of oil between 2 metal surfaces....that's how a journal bearing works, like main crank bearings
I ordered an OPR V2 and received part number TS-0801-1012 instead. It looks the same, but it has two NPT ports instead of one and the label says "Turbosmart Pro-OPR. Boost Reference OPR". I can't see this part listed on your website. Is it the same as the regular OPR V2 but just with the ability to monitor/log pressure in and pressure out? Thanks
@@TurbosmartHQ Hope you get to see this? Kia stingers get a lot of bad press about burning oil out the turbo once the dump pipes are changed?? Would this product solve this issue?? Please and Thank you.
My oil pressure is high when cold, but gets around 28psi when hot at idle. I have been having continuous problems with my journal bearing turbos allowing oil past the seals over and over again. Sometimes it clears up and stops, sometimes it doesn't. I guess im just worried about when my engine oil pressure is below 40psi, will the turbos still be receiving the proper lubrication?

Leave the restrictor in if it came with the turbo.
I love my V1 OPR!!! V2 FTW!!
So does this also work on journal bearing turbos? FP told me to run w/out restrictor and their turbo spit oil until my engine blew 😢

I have a 5.0 f150 with a top mount twin turbo set up. Should I use a regulator for each turbo or one before the y connection in the oil supply line.
One OPR will be fine for the two turbos.
Awesome. Thank you
Ok for twinn gtx5020r??

Can you run this with your restricter plate

Do still need to buy an oil restrictor? Or can i just run my GTX3071r without one?
Are these good for journal bearings?

Hello Craig,
Please reach out to the customer service team of your region.
Just orderd 1 today have u a link for a clock cheers
so block the return line?
You can’t adjust the pressure at All ? It’s just pre set?
That is correct, the OPR V2 is set to start regulating at 40PSI. You cannot adjusting this to a higher or lower pressure.
@@TurbosmartHQ how effective is it. Does it maintain that 40psi or does it go higher or does it depend on the car

Hi will the turbo still recieve oil if supply pressure is only 20psi at idle ? Thanks
Anything under 40PSI may see a pressure drop of 1PSI - 2PSI. Anything over 40PSI will be regulated.
@@TurbosmartHQ spot on 👌
Can it be mounted horizontally?
The OPR does not care which way it is mounted.
@@TurbosmartHQ Thank you for the reply.

The OPR V2 will not start regulating pressure until it sees 38-40PSI.
So will it still allow oil to flow under 40 psi ?
Say if idle pressure is only 20psi ?
@@colinmann670 Anything under 40PSI may see a pressure drop of 1PSI - 2PSI. Anything over 40PSI will be regulated.
If is bellow 40psi those oil still flow true the line
Do I need to remove my oil restrictor after installing it ?
If it is an added restrictor then yes, if it was a restrictor installed in the turbo by the turbo manufacturer then leave it in.
@@TurbosmartHQ Perfect thank you very much !
