same exact problem here, ran it for literally one season in upstate ny so that means from may till october. was leaking thru compressor wheel from day one but towards end of season oil was all over windshield from the bov.
I sent mine back for warranty so we'll see what happens. I have a ton of money in oil catch cans and lines and it did not help. we'll see what they say when I get it back. but either way im switching to Precision.

Top left restrictor is the one I used.
Ok, so update after 100km driving, oil is basically non-existant in the inlet pipe, smaller and smaller amounts are appearing, which I suspect is just the remains of what was in there.

Who did your conversion Andrew? GTP?
did u use this restrictor with the fp oil filter with built in restrictor? or by itself? the BB in line oil filter that fp sells with their oil lines has a .03" restrictor built in.

Yes, black filter feed-line from the oil filter housing as instructed by FP.

Facts
- Oil restrictor in feed line is 0.03"
- Oil pressure in my setup is higher than normal - deleted balance shafts, Kiggly HLA
- My Red spits out oil past the seals which turns to smoke like puff the magic dragon

Test
Increase the restriction down to 0.02" through DIY Restrictor using Nitrous Jets.

What do I have to lose, unless someone knows where to source a restrictor that doesn't require some back yard super science?
