The feed line is -6... I should probably be using a -4AN, but the fitting going into the Holset is a 3/8 inverted flare, and I could only find a 3/8 to -6 fitting (meant for power steering.) I hope I don't blow out my seals...

It would be a good idea to throw a restrictor valve in that line.

You can always use a combo of fittings, male to female to reduce down to the size you need for the line. Either way, nice work and get rollin on that ****
