Gleason text me late last night and he thinks he might have found the fitting brand new from mitsu it so hopefully the problem is fixed soon, now all i need is a motor to put this valve cover on...

Yes sir, It can and will be. For most people the -6 will be more than big enough but if you want extra it can happen. The only issue I see is running different size lines may not keep things as simple and neat.

Well for a stock motor Im sure its fine but Im bulding my motor in the spring and still running the black turbo. 40psi max. So I most likely need to go bigger. I wouldnt mind the back one being bigger than the side one. PM me with the max sizes side and rear you can make with the stock holes so I dont have to drill. Unless you recommend I need bigger than the stock holes.
Thanks

I know I ran the oem ones last year on a 35r and was fine and all three of the STM cars running nines (9.99-9.27) from last year all ran the same size fittings as well as lots of other evos that were faster then sin. I'd imagine the -6 AN fittings will be fine for you.

Maybe look into our -6 dipstick tube to help vent the block as well.
