Mine is 8an stainless braided. All you need to do is setup your oil pan for a -AN fitting. Buy the hose ends and 12" of braided hose. Put it together and your golden.

I used -10 as well... Make sure if you are using T3/T4 turbo not to over tighten the AN end to the pipe threaded turbo flange.

Dont mean to hijack your thread but i dont want to make another either.

I plan on getting just a braided oil feed.

What kind of rubber hose would work for a return? Fuel line? I've got a half inch npt tap in my oil pan and i'm getting ready to pick up my fittings as soon as i can put the turbo and manifold on for mock up. Will fuel line be fine without melting from heat from the turbine housing?

Fuel line for a return line? Joking? You do know fuel hose is pretty damn small right?

If anything, use heater hose. I still would go with a stainless setup though as my experience with heater hose sucks.

Heater hose wont hold up to oil.

Fuel hose is available in just about any size.

I am running -12an fittings and a .75" ID turbo drain line that was originally marked as braided diesel fuel line. If it can hold up to diesel, it should be fine for oil. Got it from napa, has a nice black textile braided covering, about $7/ft for the .75" ID ($5/ft for 5/8", $4/ft for 1/2"). Its a pretty decent hose, seems just as nice as the Earls Performance line I replaced with it.
