Might consider some of the ultra high temp copper gasket maker, as well, just for extra insurance.

I'm not running a restrictor on my 6758 and haven't run in to any issues yet, with about 17k miles on it. I did have an issue with occasional smoke on start up, but thanks to yamahaSHO's suggestion, it was just overfilled oil in the pan. Otherwise, no issues with turbo oiling so far on my setup with no restrictor.
Thanks for the reply! I was given a heads up that I might need to weld exhaust hangers onto the downpipe, since Evan at BNM Performance Fab doesn't use them. With that being said, leaving the downpipe raw. Coating the uppipe with Swain Tech's "White Lighting" coating. Turbo and headers have already been Swain Tech coated. Build is scheduled to begin April 13th. We'll see if that actually happens. What a time to schedule a build & tune right now.

I think I'll have everything installed with no oil restrictor and see how things go. We can always add one down the road if needed. I'll have them check the flanges when they mock everything up off the car. Thanks for the heads up.
