How a $5 part screws up a $5,000 dollar build.
At first I was pissed they didn't include the right amount of copper washers, but this is just.. I can't even... (this is the oil supply bolt that goes to the turbo)
Note: This would be pretty good for a bb turbo, but on a jb its asking for trouble, never had a problem with kinugawa parts until I received this.

It is the bolt that feeds oil to the turbo, the one on the right is oem and feeds more oil to the turbo, while the bolt on the left acts a restrictor and feeds less oil than the oem bolt. On journal bearing turbos that need lots of oil lubrication, this would starve the turbo of oil and overheat and damage the turbo.

good catch. definately check every part, especially aftermarket ones, before you install them on your car. I have had issues with brake line banjo bolts, suspension bushings, and a few other stuff so I always check everything. Welcome to the world of aftermarket parts.

Haha while that may be the case with the bolt, I ended up buying a 9 install kit for 30 bucks, hard to beat that price while kinugawa's quality is good enough for simple coolant and oil lines.
