10 Psi per 1000 has NOTHING to do with idle pressure it a formula used to set the high rpm bypass pressure.
Just curious as to what oil pressure you guys are getting on a stock setup
- Thread starter CajunKenny
- Start date
Wiseco: And there aren't really any "seals" in a turbo that can be damaged by high oil pressure (ie no rubber lip type seals)
If you have adequate drain most turbos won't have a problem at 100 Psi.
(again the feed size is important in this as well as it's usually volume that floods the Turbo causing it to smoke)
Modern BB Turbo's have a pair of 1mm restrictions to the bearings.

Thanks 1j , thats put that one to rest for me..lol why did they design them for low pressure, anyone know? surely they must have had a reason.
I think it just got away from them a bit with the number of controlled leaks they added.
I don't think it was ever designed to be low pressure/high volume as people on the net seem to think.
