I didn't, if you look remove and look closely at the stock oil banjo bolt on the block it has a tiny hole in it, smaller hole than the 'restrictor' banjo bolt I bought from Driftworks. At first glance I didn't realise the stock bolt hole narrowed down hence buying the DW bolt, I reused stock bolt, no issues so far.

Garrett ballbearing cores have an inbuilt restictor. Some people insist they don't, which is why I keep one to hand at work to show them it does, if questioned!

Thanks for the reply, I noticed a restrictor in the oil-line at the block, aswell did see the inbuilt.
Thanks again! =)
