Default Gah... oil lines too small?

I ordered a complete oil line kit from http://www.fast-turbo.com -- however my buddy who's helping me do my install says that the drain is too small (should be 3/4"... not 1/2") and that the adapters and bends are pretty small which could lead to later problems.

I bought this kit so I wouldn't have to worry about any oiling issues... anybody who's using this kit and can provide me with some feedback would be greatly appreciated.

You are more than fine with the 1/2" return line, just try and make it as short and direct as possible.
Having it slant upward after it dips down would cause more of a problem than the size of the line.

I thought Stan used -10 AN (5/8") lines for the oil drain?

Maybe the outer diameter is 5/8" ?

The OD of -10 lines is much larger than 5/8". Closer to 1".

-10 AN is equivalent to 10/16th of an inch. That's 5/8" ID

Hmm ok, so I guess my eyes were playing tricks and it is 5/8"...

Regardless of which measurement I fumbled -- there will be no issues with oil running these lines?

If they were too small, he wouldn't be selling them. 'Nuff said.

Awesome guy!

That's what I was tellin my buddy... that's why I bought his oil line kit, because he had well over 5 pages worth of questions/sales and many people reported back that they loved his kit.
