sorry to jack thread, but kinda related, where do you get oil lines and fittings cause i just bought a T25 from this guy and he didn't have the lines, fittings, nothing , just the turbo. clean though, good condition and only cost $160

Re: 12an return line or 10an (SuperT)
i just called turbonetics for some info and they said to run a 10 at the minnimum!! they said they would rather run a 12 but a 10 will work. they said they feel safe with 12an fittings because different manufacturers of 10ans use differnt inside diameters. some are too small and my cause a dranage problem! they recomended using 10an fittings if you drill out the inside a bit.

-10AN is equivalent to 5/8"
-12AN is equivalent to 3/8"
1/2" is good enough as well, it's about a -8AN size..

We run a -12 return and it is better than running a -10. Realistically, however, you probably won't see much of a difference either way. You want the return to be as free flowing as possible so bigger is better until the point where it doesn't make a difference anymore. I don't really see a need to go to -16 because the oil can't flow out any quicker. We actually run the scavenge of our dry sump pump on the oil return to pull the oil out.
