Bosch 044 fuel line size

I'm going to run a single Bosch 044 on my turbo 5.3. My question is on line size. I ready have a -10 running rear to front from the previous carbed setup that I'd like to use. I'm thinking -10 feed to pump,-10 up to the rails/regulator then either a -8 or -6 return. Sound good to anyone? Let me know. Going to run pump 92/93 and meth injection on 80 lb injectors.

-10 is way more than what u need for that with a single pump you wont have to worry about the lines being a to small tho

An 044's outlet id is much smaller than -10. It closer to -6.

I might go e85 in the future and y in another pump. That's another reason I'd like to leave the -10 up to the front. Would a -6 return be ok or would you suggest a -8?

But you'll need to step up from the M12 outlet to the -10, the size difference will just look a little silly.

-6 return will be perfectly fine for 1 or even 2 x 044's
