Some interesting info from turbonetics:
Q: What size oil inlet and oil drain line sizes should I run for my turbocharger?
A: Turbonetics recommends no larger than a -4 oil inlet line and no smaller than a -10 (1/2") oil drain line. For most street vehicles a -3 (1/8") is ideal and if a -12 line can be accommodated for the drain even better. NOTE: For racing applications and large frame turbochargers ie. Y2K and Thumper units, a -4 is perfect to accommodate the extra oil capacity and pressure that these units are usually faced with.
