Default Ordering a bunch of parts Fruday, have a few questions.

Im going to order the rest of my parts friday to get my car start and i had some questions on the parts im ordering...

AES 390
Twin Turbonetics TC66 turbos
E85
1000rwhp street car
4l80e?

1. Oil feed lines for turbos, Do i have to buy inlet flanges, or can i just put a -4an fitting directly into the top of the turbo? Do i need a restrictor? Cheaper to make your own or buy some?

2. What flexplate do you guys recommend? Ive seen some for $100, $150, all the way up to $300... They never have a HP Rating...

Circle d makes a nice flex plate.
If the turbo inlet is threaded then a 4an to 1/8 npt fitting is what you need. For lines I bought premade crimped lines. Didn't want the fittings leaking. I found them on eBay for like $25. Just figure out what length you need.

For the feed lines I would order the adaptors. I know on my BW turbo theres a seal and has to run the adapter. Dont know about the flex plate
