Default ?? turbo install ques.. and how to meas AN fittings?

ok i have a couple of minor questions, on headers, they have donut exhaust gasket, where as on my dp, its flat with no place to put a gasket. should i run a flat metal type one?

for the oil return and feed flanges, the gasket is a necessary item to buy right? my kit didnt come with one. actually, the feed on the turbo is threaded so i dont need a gasket, just use some teflon paste right?

and how do u measure a fitting if u have one in ur hands? i know that -3 AN is 3/16, and -10AN is 10/16 of an inch, etc, but how would i measure something i have if its not labeled. should i measure the inner diameter, the outer fitting, or the parts where the threading is?

my maxrev kit came with a rubber return line, and some push on fittings. i was planning to ditcht the rubber line and go with a SS line. can i still use the push on fittings with it, and use hose clamps? anyone had problems with this? seems really tight even with the rubber line, im assuming the SS will be even better.

thanks...

i know that -3 AN is 3/16, and -10AN is 10/16 of an inch
Well judging by this and making an off the wall guess... since -3 is 3/16
and -10 is 10/16, then -4 would be 4/16 (or 1/4), -5 would be 5/16, -6 would be 6/16 (or 3/8) and so on...

I think this is a pretty feasable guess
but can anyone concur?

Thanks

well what u concurred is true. BUT what im trying to figure out is where to measure these values. like the threading comes into play, should i measure the inner diameter of the line, or should i measure the line....what wat? this AN and NPT stuff is confusing, slowly im learning. thanks for trying though.
