Default Oil feed size for S480 Turbo

-6 AN line okay? My engine runs 20w-50 and I am not sure if a -4 would work. would there be any negative effects on the turbo if I go with a -6? I am planning on running a -10 or -12 oil return as well.



while I'm here, I have two more questions.
1. Does anyone know what size the oil feed inlet threads are on a Forced Inductions s480 turbo? looks like NPT to me but I am at my desk still and wont be home for a while..

2. My turbo is not a race cover version so it has the V band compressor outlet. Is there a company out there that makes an adapter to go from V band to pipe with a bead so I can use a silicone coupler? or am I going to have to take my cold piping somewhere to get a matching V band flange welded on?

1/4" NPT to -4. No need for -6.

Make sure your drain is adequate... Dont come back in a month asking what size restrictor you need... lol

you can always grind that Vband off the housing and use a slip coupling on it as well...

Harbor Freight has a pneumatic block that gives you 5 ports for a descent price.
