This line is usually found on the top of the turbo center housing This step is optional. Prior to mounting the OPR, install 1/8”  
rotating assembly (CHRA) that feeds the turbo for lubrication and NPT gauge or sensor. Unscrew existing 1/8” NPT blank anti-  
cooling. Take time to determine where you wish to mount the clockwise with 3/16” hex key. Apply thread lubricant and screw  
OPR in the engine bay. Some examples of placement for your in clockwise until finger tight, then tighten further 1-2 turns for  
OPR are:  
Mounted against chassis  
Mounted onto oil filler cap  
Mounted onto breather return line  
Mounted onto breather tank  
CAUTION!  
Do not place the OPR return together with the turbo drain line as  
this will interfere with the function of the turbo drain and may  
cause issues with the turbocharger oil system.

circlip and push down until the circlip clicks into place. Your  
mounting bracket is now successfully installed and you can now  
mount your OPR in your specified location. Proceed to connect  
your oil lines.

Ensure correct installation of fittings to prevent high pressure and  
temperature oil leaks which can lead to extremely dangerous  
fires. See below the O-ring.

-
OPR Leaking Check fittings are tight and o-rings are present or not damaged.  
-
OPR regulating below 40psi (275kPa)Ensure engine oil pressure is above 40psi, if engine oil pressure is below 40psi, the OPR will not  
regulate until inlet pressure exceeds 40psi.  
-
-
OPR regulating above 50psi (345kPa) Ensure oil return line is not restricted causing a pressure build up for the regulator.  
Failing the above, submit a technical request to tech@turbosmart.com.au with information of your engine, oil type and photos of installation
