Default Oil Feed and Oil return lines.... what size and length?

I got a oil relocation kit from another member here and i will get the oil feed for my turbo off of that. I also got another oil pan to tap into for the return because i didn't want to tap into my stock oil pan. My question is what size lines should i get for my turbo and what an fitting should i use? i read up on it a bit and i guess the best place to get the oil for the turbo would be off my oil relocation kit. So i measured it out and the oil feed shouldn't have to be any longer than 1.5 feet and the oil return should be around 2 feet since i'll be tapping it on the turbo side. Any heads up would be nice.

Oh i'll be running a revhard log style manifold.

What kind of turbo? JB or BB?

If for example a precision JB, use a -3an feed & a -10an drain. For length use a piece of string & get a rough idea of how long it will be. Buy a little more than needed, you can always cut it down to size.

Thanks Ever wonder how Jason gets places so fast without running? lol
Im on Long Island, about 1 hr & 45 mins from Evans.

With the BB, you need a ~.032" restrictor which the turbo probably came with.
-3an or -4an feed line shouldnt matter in that case as far as I know.

haha well all the damn an fittings don't have sizes on the box.... it just has the model number so i had to check like 50 times to see which one fit and which one didn't at the local speed shop since they had no idea what was going on... i'll most likely tell the person making my oil return and oil feed lines to make it that and it shouldn't have a problem.

Oil return length shouldn't make a difference.

I use -10 for drain, and -4 for feed.

I'm going to run a T off where the oil pressure switch sits with a -3an line. Will that be ok for a Precision 6262 billet journal bearing type?
