Is it okay to run a -3 feed line?
I've got a greddy kit and i'm going to be moving the T that's directly onto the block by using a short length of hose.. I was thinking about using -3 hose to restrict the oil flow and reduce pressures exerted on the turbo's seals. Would this be alright or should i just stick to -4? I have an oil pressure gauge that will be going after the length of -3 hose so i can tell what pressure are going through there.
I'd basically have 1 foot of -3 line that would go to a couple T's, and then after that would be a -4 feed line to the turbo (I assume -4 is what the greddy kit comes with)
thanks

-3 line will supply the oil at higher pressure than a -4 line.
Same volume, smaller area = more pressure
Same volume, smaller area = more pressure
