maybe, maybe not. assuming the stock hard lines are -10, -6 would be alot smaller and maybe restrict the flow of water too much. now that i think about it, when i go through with this i'm going to use -8 (i have about 3ft of both -6 and -8 sittin in my garage).
then again... if the turbo's water ports are 1/4npt... thats going to be an even bigger restriction, so i really dont know what the best size would be to use.
EDIT: the bitch to a setup like this (an fittings, ss hose) is having to flare those hard lines. in order to use the sleeves/nuts on the hardlines you need a 37 degree flare. flaring tools that do 37 degrees are expensive and hard to come by. i have one i got from summit for ~35$ but the problem is that it wont flare any piping over i think 1/2" inch. I forget who but i'm pretty sure someone makes a fitting that doesnt require you to flare the hose, even if they're 35$-45$ a piece (no idea what they actually cost), thats what i'd do.
