Thanks for summarizing the differences so precisely. Can be difficult to find that info at times.

What's always concerned me is just the shear magnitude of how small an orifice that is for a very critical engine part. At an average engine oil pressure of say 30-50 psi at that tiny orifice area, that's just not alot of oil flow. I can't imagine it taking much more than a tiny piece of debris to clog that orifice and cutting off oil flow to turbo.

Has anyone else had a similar concern?
