Twin rear mount feed lines I'm trying to figure out what feeds I need for some rear mounted gt35rs. Will a single AN-4 work split into a T with an AN-4 going to each turbo? I guess the question here is will an AN-4 line supply enough flow to the rear of the car for 2 turbos? I'm trying to minimize complexity as I already have to plumb coolant and an oil return back there.

I don't see why the -4 won't work.... My gt35r's have a tiny restricter orfice for the oil feed so it does not move too much oil through them anyway. I ran -6 for the coolant lines and it has worked well for me. I have heard more than one person doesn't even run water to them and they said no issues. Best of luck

Coolant lines are used in lots of factory turbos because the turbo heat can coke the oil onto the bearings in the turbos. With water cooling them, the oil never gets to the coking temperature and won't foul the bearings. Also, think about how small the oil restrictor is on a ball bearing turbo. It would basically have no chance of cooling the turbo like a dedicated water supply would.
Also, lower operating temps are good for turbo lifespan, but I would think a turbo timer would definitely help a oil cooled turbo.
