t70 oil lines

i have a S4 turbo engine and I am trying to figure out what fittings hose and oil lines I need.

I have the fitting that goes into the block and goes to -4an, then I assume I need a 90 there, some -4 hose, and then a fitting for the turbo ( i cant quite tell what size the threads on the turbo are) Do I need a restrictor?

then for the return, I assume I have to get a flange for the bottom then run -8 or -10 lines from there to some other fitting I have no clue about.

Can someone help me fill in the blanks here please?

come on guys, I know someone knows the answer to this right off the top of their head and I have searched my ***** off.

I can prolly figure out what fitting I need for the feed side of the turbo by trying a few bolts till it feels right,

I can also probably find a turbo oil drain, but I really have no clue what size the fitting for the return at the motor is.

And i can just run the -4 line straight w/o the restrictor and see what happens I guess.

also I'm worried about the temperature of the oil inlet at the turbo, the highest rated -4 ss hose I found was rated for 450 degrees.

Any ideas?

ok i think I have everything figured out at this point except the type of hose ( not size) for the temperature it is subjected to and the flange that goes to the motor for the drain.

Give this a try:

As previously mentioned, you don't have to use -12AN for the drain. -10 will work.
