Default pics of co2 set ups and what size line?

Can you guys post pics of your co2 set ups? Im going to be using the holley boost control. I want to run braided line. What size lines are you guys running to the wastegate? I have a bunch of -6 line. I figure that would be plenty big but not sure if too big? Also I'm going to run the bottom of the gate to the turbo discharge. What size are you guys running for that? I think -6 might be to big for that too. lol Thanks!

Yeah, -6 is pretty big. I would just use all of the push lock style lines and fittings. They are super cheap and work well.

What do you need pics of? It's a co2 bottle with a feed line running to your solonoid.. -6 is WAY overkill. I use a 1/4" OD little rubber hose with the push to lock fittings. It works fine.

Thanks guys! Are you mounting them in trunk/hatch or in the car? I wanted to run briad so i know its not coming off and looks good. Lol the -6 was my main question if its too big. Are you doing 1/4 for the bottom wastegate reference too? Thanks!

Bottle is mounted on its side in the back of the car. Everything that has to do with C02 is the same size line.

I do love me some harbor freight! lol Do you leave it on all the time or turn it on just when you drive? Is there any NHRA rule anyone knows about to be careful of? I know its not flamible but its still a 5 lb bottle that will take off like a rocket if you knock the valve off. lol
