Feed= Pressure
Drain= Gravity
You want as much flow as you can get, if there is any sort of restriction then you can blow the seals on the turbo due to the pressure buildup.

no, there is a reason people run such big drain........
Having oil back up due to too small of line will in turn back up and blow the seals in the turbo and cause smoking. Your feed in fed via Oil Pressure so you can a TON of oil flying threw that -4 line, where as the drain just gravity drips so to speak, you need the bigger hose to drain all the oil. Its a necessity and a big key to your setup, i wouldnt run less than -10 an. Hope this helps!
