turbo oil line restriction

I did some research and found out that if you run a bigger oil line on the turbo it could cause internal damage when it floods it with oil. I know the line comes from the (top, right) head, is there some sort of a restriction by factory thats built in? Im not sure if people who upgrade put a small adapter that restricts flow, if so what do you use?

I assume this is a journal bearing turbo and you can typically run a -3 line with no restricter. However, why not just call Precision and see what they recommend.

Definitely call Precision. Is this a Ball bearing or a JB unit? They have vastly different oiling requirements.
