Brake lines for turbo feed
 
OKay, I'm a cheap bastard, so I'm using brake line to feed my turbo and some big honking copper tubing for the drain.
What size should I go with? In other words what does 3AN or 4AN translate into on the english scale? 1/8th 1/4?
thanks

Go with the biggest you can get. I wouldn't use copper tube for your return, rubber lines are fine. I used brake line for my Civic and I like them better than steel braided because the lines don't move around

I bought all my ---- from NAPA. I got all the oil feed, return, all my hard coolant lines and all necessary tees. For everything under $30.
