Default Oil return line

a quick question... Is a -6 line enough for a return line from the turbo? I know people usually go with a -10 but is it 100% necessary to run a -10 or will a -6 suffice? Thanks!

I will not trust a -6 on there to get rid of all the oil that goes in the CHRA. Turbo manufacture recommend -10 +. I had problems with a short -8 on my gt30r before. Moved up to a -10 and never had the problem again.

run a -10 shane. -6 may blow your seals due to oil flow restriction back to the pan.
