1/4 for your feed or return? i'm just hoping it doesn't slow down the return oil with smaller piping

1/4 was my send, 1/2 is my return. 1/2 was stock on my T/3 turbo.

I prefer 10AN (7/8" hose) but if I had to choose between those two 1/2" and 3/4"
I'd go with the 3/4" and stay away from the 90 degree elbows and restrictive fittings.
