Default Running a hard oil feed?

I wanted to run a hard line to feed my new set up. Has anyone ever ran an ss like 1/8th-1/4" line and flare it out and put a fitting on? Thanks a lot.

people including myself usually run an AN line. stealthmode performance has a good oil line kit. it consits of a block fitting which is bspt so it will screw in your block and not mess up the threads. then it omes with a 1/8npt to 3AN adapter and the 3 AN line. also comes with the fitting that goes in the turbo. also a 1/8-3 AN

I had an oil line kit from stan at fast turbo, but my kit got stolen off my car and they cut the -3an line. So I wanted to replace it with a hard line and run it around the block. What size do pepole usually use?

Hard lines work fine. Use a flare nut and double flare the tubing. I had a stainless braided line fail internally near the turbo and start a giant oil fire during a rally. Never again with hard line.
