Cheap alternative for an oil restrictor
So for the last few days, I've been scrambling trying to find an oil line restrictor for a ball bearing turbo. Atp sells one but its $12 and shipping is completely outrageous for something they could stick in an envelope and slap a stamp on. I really couldn't find anything reasonably priced and was going to make one like in the how to thread.

Then, I found this today:
Auto Meter 3277 - Auto Meter Restrictor Fittings - Overview - SummitRacing.com

I'll probably have to drill the hole out just a bit, but its much easier than tapping a fitting with a set screw and drilling it out. This will thread right into a nissport adapter for the oil feed and I happen to have -4 line so it works out. Plus it's under $10

Just thought I'd share this find in case anyone else finds themself in the same situation as myself.

summit usually has REALLY good shipping prices compared to other places i've shopped..

i get my k&n air filters from summit and after shipping its about the price of a filter locally or even at other places online..

For years Summit had a minimum of $10 shipping, no? Or like a minimum handling fee of $10?

the local stores can order in autometer stuff (autozone and so on). They usually can get stuff in the next day or day after and won't charge shipping.

How come your not using it? And I like this one because the ATP one is threaded for 7/16 which would screw into the turbo. I feel like I'd have to buy another 90* -4an fitting to put on the ATP piece so the feed line won't kink. I think the hole on this one is a wee bit too small but thats what drill bits are for
