Default Single to twin turbo

Im going from single to twin turbo. I have a 10an return line from when I was single. Could I just Y that to 2 10an lines to each turbo?

I suppose so but I'm no expert. I've always been amazed that while the feed has a miniscule hole , that admonition has been for -10an and larger for the drains. I just follow what has gone on before me though. Certainly seems to work.
I went from a single PT7675 to twin GT35's (made my own hot/cold sides). With the single turbo, I had a -10AN on the passenger side of the oil pan, up near the rail, While I was gathering parts for the twins, I came across a nice timing cover (ICT Billet?) that had two -10AN drain fittings welded on. Nice piece but they don't warn you that their cover doesn't have the little water pump bolt reliefs. I ended up grinding the bolt heads off near flat.. Clears fine now.

How much of a 'drop' do you have in your lines from the turbo's proposed position to the oil pan? Hopefully, somewhat substantial.
What size turbos are you going with?

Good luck on your efforts.

my oil line is high on the passenger oil pan. I will be running t72 turbos. The turbos will sit high where the battery was and in the opposite corner. I think I would be ok. I dont want to take the oil pan back off if I don't have to. Thanks for your input

I run 10An off each turbo and T fitting to a single 10AN into my scavenger pump, then single 10AN to my pan.

without pump it wouldn’t work. Not enough angle and tons of oil come out of my turbos so prob would use a dual lines if no pump.
