Smaller is better for inlet - get -3 or -4.
Larger is better from outlet/drain - minimum -10, but try to see if you canget -12 or bigger.
Beware, those fittings are BANK!

Those are for the oil lines, the water lines are not that important - in fact, don't even bother with the water cooled center (did you buy the turbo yet?).  You can use normal heater/coolant hose for the water lines, but if you insist on SS AN stuff, you can go with -6 stuff.

Unless you wanna get a totall divided manifold (with the divided turbine housing), the power will lag a bit versus the stock turbo.  The 1.0A/R should kick in about 4kRPM (with a collected HKS cast manifold), but the 0.84 would be a more streetable version - boost should kick in almost like stock...

As far as fitment the only problem i heard was that the compressor hits the frame rail. It sucks i know!..But will grinding the frame rail be all that bad for the car??...
TED- did the car you rode on had a stock IC??..I will be using a custom NPR FMIC which is bigger than the starion unit and im worried about lag..

This guy is running the same set-up. He has the same turbo and manifold. Notice how he had to bang the frame rail in a bit to clear the turbo?..its not too bad i think.
