Accidently Removed pte bb oil feed restrictor fitting!
Accidentally removed the pte bb oil feed restrictor fitting. Now PTE says I could damage the turbo if I don't let them put it back on, and I have to wait 4 weeks to get it back. Is there actual damage that could be done. Has anyone removed this? Here's a photo of what I removed.

Yes, the restrictor is to reduce the oil pressure to the housing, too much pressure will blow out the seals.
But... whatever, why should you listen to the manufacturer of the product, might as well ask the internet forum experts...... I can't even remotely comprehend your logic.
Although, you screwing it in vs PTE screwing it in.... I see no difference.

The size of the restrictor is in OEM specs which is require for normal operation so please listen to the manufacturer because its there for a reason.You can over pressurize and under pressurize the oil going to the turbo so the OEM restrictor gives the turbo the right amount of oil it needs.
