how to lube twins I was wondering if any of you turbo guru's out there could give me some advice on oil feed lines. How are people doing this? What size lines are you guys running. I'm going to be running two PT-52's. The car previously had a TTi street kit on it and was thinking I would use that line and then "T" it to go to both turbos. Any advice is more than welcome.

A tee should be plenty. If its a modern BB turbo, they require very little oil anyway, and usually have a very small restrictor in the feed line to them.
Something around 0.040-0.060" I think just at the entry to the core.
Older oil bearing/bronze bush types require more oilflow.

Most people get the oil from the oil block off plate above the filter use -4AN and tee off to each turbo. Two 52 would probably need over 1 gallon/minute. My two little T3 sized turbos need under .85 gallons/min.
