My own concern about sink lines would be temperature. At best, they may have been intended for 180 degree hot water, not the heat thrown off by a turbo.If you've got to use Home Depot stuff to make a turbo oil return line, my advice would be to braze together some sections of thick copper water pipe.

Home plumbing components are made for water, temps below 140 F., and max 60 psi. They will deteriate quickly in hot oil and create a very expensive mess, do it right the first time. If it was an option, us cheap old farts would be doing it.

What I did was use Home depot fittings, and got a section of -10an SS braided line. Worm clamped the SS line to the nipple coming off the turbo, and JB welded another 1/2" fitting with a nipple into the oil pan. 15k miles so far, no problems with it. Spent maybe $20 tops?

I used line like this... 4an on my supply and 10an on the return. Have racked about 300 miles so far and it drains great. Its ment for high pressure and hi-temps and is affordable.
