the stock line hits my turbine, so i am going to run a braided line from the front plate directly to the turbo... just wondering if anyone knows what size fitting i need to replace the banjo bolt, and hook up my line... thanks

I did the same thing, ran a line directly to the turbo. Problem is I don't remember the size, but I think it's 18mm 1.5

cool, 14mm 1.5! now i can order it... ......... ok i just spend like 30 min looking... i can find a 14mm 1.5 to -6an... but i want to use -4an lines... and i can't seem to find a -6an to -4an adapter... i have a restrictor at the inlet of my turbo... would it be ok to just run a -6an line? otherwise, if you guys know where to find a -6an to -4an adapter let me know...
thanks

Does your restrictor have a 1/8 npt in it as well? Then get a 1/8 to -4 fitting and your all set!

this is for my FD... what i think i might do it get the 14mm to -6an, i found a place to get a -6an to -4an reducer, than run the line... my turbo already has a fitting in it... i'm not sure what size though... either 1/4 or 1/8 npt i think...
thanks for the info

It's not going to make much difference between a -4 and a -6 if the restrictor is at the turbo. I ran a -4 hard line from my front plate to the turbo but that was only because -4 is easy to bend and I had it. I have a .081" restrictor in the fitting that screwes into the turbo.

well now i am thinking of something different... thinking maybe i should just cut the stock hard line, and weld a -4an fitting right after the banjo bolt... then just run a -4an line....
but if you don't think there will be much difference between running a -6an and a -4an since the restrictor is at the turbo, that would be real easy too...
anyone else have anything to add? please let me know what you think about running -6an vs -4an
thanks a bunch
