Default Is 5/16" too big for oil feed line?!?

Is that too big for my oil feed line? It will be on my b18b Integra with a t3 63/60 running ~8psi. From what I understand, most run 3AN or 4AN. And 3AN= 3/16" I believe, so I would be running 5AN if that conversion is correct.....

Thanks!!

Resitrictor? What does that look like?
The reason I ask this question is because I already have this size ss lines.

Restrictor is just a fitting with a small hole in it http://www.atpturbo.com/Mercha...1.jpg

5/16" is much too large. Honda's run alot of oil pressure and a line that big will cause big problems for your turbo. -3 is what we use in our Honda kits.

i talked to precision about this and they say you DONT need a restrictor with a -3an line. maybee its diferent for other turbos but.....

I think what he meant is that you don't need a restrictor w/ -3 cause its the right size and if you run a -4 you need the restrictor but it still isnt optimal.
