ok guys still buying more parts and came across a company on ebag, that has -4an hose available in both 1/4" and 5/16" http://stores.ebay.com/California-Hosee ... 34.c0.m322 , and was wondering which would be the better option, the price between them is just a few dollars, and they can also custom build you any size hose to any length and with any fittings on the end, the product looks good for the price,

-Mike

I think mine is -3AN, but it might be 4AN. 1/4" ID would be quite a bit bigger than what I have and my oil flow is plenty based on what people say. I think I have one section of hard brakeline that is 1/4" OD. This is a big turbo too - T4 frame turbine. The restrictor hole on the fitting going into the turbo bearing is 1/8" or less (installed that way by Turbonetics).

I used -4. The fitting with the restricted hole was about .030 to .040" in diameter.

Yep, that sounds right on the hole size. Thanks, Shaker.

We used some 1/4" pre-cut brake line that is available in varying lengths from just about any parts store. It has fittings and flares already on it at both ends, so all you have to do is measure your length requiements and go get one that long.

Easy... :)

Hope this helps!

Bill
