Ordered one from ATP Turbo, 1/8" NPT male and female ends with a .065" orfice. It was only $14.00.... Worth it to me.

But the restrictor wasn't my oil pressure issue anyway, it kept dropping, and now my brand new motor is basically junk bearing issues after 500 miles?

i was having the same problem when i was running mobil 1 10-30 changed the oil to castrol 20-50 and that solved my problem. i am running no restrictor on my twin 67's, you can also check your o-ring on your oil pump make sure its not pinched or cut.

i used an allen head plug (like what is in a hub to hold the key stock on a hub and shaft assembly) just took the turbo into the hardware store and found one that threaded into the oil feed for the turbo, cant remember the size tho. and before anyone says "its pipe thread, that wont work" i kno its pipe thread and it works good. just get that plug, drill your desired hole in it and thread it in and ur ready to rock. i havent had an oil problem yet and im not very nice to my truck.
