Nitrous Jet Restrictors

Nitrous Jet Restrictors
I see a lot of people are using nitrous jets as oil restrictors for their turbos. Can someone explain to me how and where these jets are installed? How do they fit into the feed line? What specific fittings do I need to get in order to utilize nitrous jets.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I have a npt to -4 an fitting on my turbo that my feed line hooks to. All I had to do is take that fitting and cut off the AN part and file it flat and smooth and then just insert the jet there. The jet takes the place of the AN part of the fitting and seals just fine.

I have a gauge for that

Why do you think you need a restrictor? I would suggest trying to fix the issue instead of band-aiding it with a restrictor. The last thing you want is less oil going to your turbo. You probably have a drain line issue...either too small or too tight turns. The only time you should need a restrictor is if you have very high oil pressure and a ball bearing turbo.

I took the straight NPT to -4 a/n fitting and tapped the NPT end to accept holley carb jets. Just another option, nitrous jets might be easier for you tho. Where are you going to run your drain?

Depends on the size of the feed line.
Our kits use a -3 feed line, so you need a 1/8npt x 3. file the flare drill out to the proper size insert jet. the jet replaces the flared end of the fitting.
Or
go buy a 1/8npt x 3/16 compression. throw compression nut and sleeve in the draw. the compression end works great with large barrel jets like we use.

You said to use a -3AN with the nitrous jet but lglowe said to use a -4AN. I can get a 1/8npt male to -3 or -4 male. But is the flare on the nitrous jet -3 or -4? I'm planning on hooking the feed fitting + nitrous jet to the female hose end on the -3 feed hose.
