[Supras] Regards to the turbo oil supply line

[Jeff Mohler]

-10 isnt big enough, -12 at a min, -14 matches OEM ID.

The draining oil is foamed up pretty bad, and it needs that space to
unfoam and drain properly.  Or it can choke and back-up in the tube
just enough to that you start to hurt things.

The oil feed hose is a challenge to get the OEM size in aftermarket
hardware, SS tubing takes away a lot of ID compared to thinwall tubing
thats there OEM.

The stock stuff works pretty well.

Or..I should say the stock stuff has -never- resulted in -any-
failures, and is by no means a HP gain.
