IMPORTANT NOTES ON YOUR TURBO OIL PRESSURE REGULATOR  
•
Turbosmart accepts no responsibility whatsoever for incorrect installation of this product which is potentially hazardous and can cause serious  
engine damage or personal injury.  
•
•
•
FThLisOis NWOTDanIaRdjEusCtabTleIrOegNulatIoSr. important. Incorrect plumbing will not allow oil to flow through the OPR  
The internal filter should be cleaned at regular oil change intervals. Failure to clear filter of particulates may restrict oil flow and  
change the regulated pressure  
•
The internal filter should be kept in the same orientation after cleaning to minimise and left-over particles aren’t dislodged during  
normal operation.  
•
•
•
•
Ensure that all plumbing is appropriately secured.  
Your turbo oil pressure regulator should be mounted at least 100mm from any significant heat source.  
Gauge port is 1/8” NPT.  
Preinstalled restrictors on turbochargers should remain intact.  
RECOMMENDATIONS  
•
•
Turbosmart recommends that your turbo oil pressure regulator (OPR) is fitted by an appropriately qualified technician  
Turbosmart recommends that your engine oil pressure is checked after fitment to ensure engine oil and turbo oil pressure is  
satisfactory.  
•
•
Turbosmart recommends that the oil pressures are monitored closely.  
Turbosmart recommends that in the event of an engine failure the filter and O Rings be replaced with the rebuild kit(TS-0801-3001)  
and thoroughly clean the internals inspecting for any damage before reassembly.

FITTING YOUR OPR  
Locate turbo oil pressure feed line and  
determine mounting location  
1
This line is usually found on the top of the turbo centre housing  
rotating assembly (CHRA) that feeds the turbo for lubrication  
and cooling. Take time to determine where you wish to mount  
the OPR in the engine bay.  
Note: Direction is important, the Turbo side must be  
plumbed to the Turbo.  
Mounting your OPR (OPTIONAL)  
3
With all lines installed onto the OPR, the OPR can now be  
mounted. Place the mounting bracket over the base of the  
OPR in the orientation of your choice, your mounting bracket  
is now successfully installed, and you can now mount your  
OPR in your desired location.  
Fit Gauge or Sensor Port (STRONGLY  
Recommended)  
2
Note! - Oil Pressure should be verified with a mechanical  
gauge minimum.  
This step is optional, but highly recommended. Prior to  
mounting the OPR, install 1/8” NPT gauge or sensor. Unscrew  
existing 1/8” NPT blank anti-clockwise with 3/16” hex key.  
Apply thread lubricant and screw in clockwise until finger tight,  
then tighten further 1-2 turns for seal. Turbosmart gauge kit  
optional
Start engine and check for leaks  
5
Congratulations, your OPR is installed and ready for use.  
Double check all fittings, lines and mountings then proceed to  
start engine and check for leaks. No adjustment is required.  
WARNING!  
Ensure to verify Engine Oil Pressure as well as  
Turbo Oil Pressure  
CAUTION! If oil leaks are present – switch off engine  
immediately and rectify leaks.

Filter Maintaince  
6
The filter should be cleaned thoroughly and/or replaced as  
required in line with engine oil changes. To do this, we need  
two non-marking 9/16” Spanners to disassemble with  
anticlockwise rotation. The Filter can then be accessed for  
cleaning. Use a combination of compressed air and elastomer  
safe degreasers spraying through from the outlet side to  
dislodge particles on the inlet side of the filter.  
To Reassemble we can follow the exploded view below.  
Having the cap upside down the filter, spacer and position can  
be stacked to ensure components sit in the correct position  
before spring and body is screwed together.  
CAUTION! Failure to ensure filter, spacer and piston sit  
concentric to each other within the cap may result in the  
assembly not being correctly seating and may affect  
regulation pressure and induce leaks.  
The OPR must be torqued to 12Nm (8.8.lb.ft.)  
The filter should be refitted in the same orientation. The Clean  
side should always face the turbo.

TROUBLE SHOOTING  
-
-
OPR Leaking – Check fittings are tight and o-rings are present or not damaged.  
OPR regulating below 35psi (241kPa) – Ensure engine oil pressure is above 45psi, if engine oil pressure is below 45psi,  
the OPR will not regulate until inlet pressure exceeds 45psi.  
-
-
OPR regulating above 50psi (345kPa) – Ensure oil path to turbo is not blocked causing a pressure build up in your regulator.  
Failing the above, submit a technical request to tech@turbosmart.com.au with information of your engine, oil type and  
photos of installation
