Default Size Braided line for Oil Feed to Turbo?

Okay guys, I have come to the annoying part of my turbo build.....getting little parts.

Anyways, I have the oil return of -10.......But what size fitting is on the back of the sending unit and what size braided line do I need for the oil feed line.

thanks, JAson

Yeah, put a bigger one on there so it takes longer for the pressure to build up so the turbo won't get oil fast enough - that way it will die a premature death

Every big import racer run #6 line and if u did not know the oil stay in the line when the car is off only time u got to bled the line is when u change the oil if it is a number 4 or 6.

People used big oil line to cut back on the pressure to the turbo.

Turbo's don't need but a Max of 80psi of oil pressure that's why u see when turbo's on Hondas they don't last as long as Volvo's, Saab's and other cars that come with turbo stock because u trying to put over 100psi of oil in it lot of guy run an oil reducer inline to cut back on the pressure.
