Default gt40 oil inlet flange

hello. i have a garret gt4082 turbo for my datsun (with a lm7 5.3l lsX engine). id like to run a hard oil inlet line and a AN10 return line (i have alot of left over an10 fuel line). it seems like the only oil inlet flanges i can find are 1/8. that seems a little small for a gt40 right? what size do you guys suggest for this set up?

any input would help.

1/8 NPT to -4 AN (or hard line) is pretty standard.

-3an and -4an feed lines are the norm for feeding a turbo, 1/8npt to -4an is the fitting I used for my T76, and I had to restrict the oil flow as well....turbos don't need a great amount of oil to live.
