Default oil feed restrictor for standard T3 turbo?

Anyone know for definite the proper restrictor diameter in the oil feed fitting on a standard 4x4 T3 turbo?

I have 3 fittings here and they are all different bore diameters

What are the implications of too large a diameter? is there an adverse effect on the turbo if this is the case?

I'm guessing too large a restrictor though may potentially give problems with forcing oil past the seals??
