Oil restrictor plate help

I made a run up to summit today to look for two oil restriction plates but apparently summit doesnt carry them. I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction or give me a link for one. I just got the motor fired up and it runs around 60-70 psi of oil pressure and i dont believe that it would be a good thing to run that through my turbos Ebay or not. Thanks again guys!
