oil return line size?

[injen78]

ok so were boosting my friends integra and he has everything but the oil return line..so im just wondering what the ideal size for a return line would be??
i know it shouldnt be too big but i also know it cant be too small...
its your basic t4/t4 ebay turbo...only running max of 8psi

ebay turbos suck! uhh idk off hand what size if im thinkin of the rite line ur talkin about, both my lines on my car for my turbo are about 1/4-1/2 inch thick my oil feed lines idk if that helps any id say there more around the 1/4 inch size

ook cuz ive searched other forums and it seems basically the same all around for ford/vw/nissan everything...they all say around 1/2inch...
but ive never seen a huge feed line...ive always seen smaller feed lines going to the turbo and bigger lines coming from the turbo to the oil pan

On every turbo setup I've done wether it's eBay or not I always use a -3 oil feed line with the oil restrictor, and for a return I always use -10

1/2" heat hose works just fine no smaller and made sure it is a smooth straight shot to.the highest point on the oil pan. To low on the pan the oil.will back up and turbo will smoke. If your oil return looks like a rollercoster it will smoke alos.

And Idc what any one has to ay about eBay turbo they work mint if set up right I have used them many many time there are two cars I know an put together no both with eBay turbo with well over 20k miles on them with out any.issues I am still using the same one.I had for 3 years no.issues don't know the eBay turbo .. I seen a 800$ garret turbo eat its self up.in less then ten miles .
