Do I need this for a turbonetics turbo, or does the prefilter help reduce the amount of pressure.

Generally speaking Turbonetics does not recommend using an oil restrictor on their turbos. That being said there is of course a possibility that oil pressure might be an issue. The best thing to do is make sure your oil return line is plenty large enough and that you have good flow from the bearing to the pan. If you can't get a good shot down it might be worth looking into a scavenge pump for the return.
