Default oil return size?

hey everyone.

what size should i be doing my oil return into my pan? 3/8" NPT?

Im not turboing yet but ill have the pan off and figured i could put an elbow in and then just plug it so when i put a turbo kit in the engine is ready.

Thanks!

Not looking to buy a kit, i get discount parts from work.

Was just going to do NPT Brass fittings.

Was just asking if a 3/8" NPT is the right size, was going to stick an elbow out of the pan then plug it so when i start my turbo kit i dont need to pull the pan i can just undo a plug and thread the line in.

Thanks!

I agree a -10 if you have room, but a -8 with nice smooth curves will work too. And make sure the drain on the pan drains above the static oil level or you could have probs.
