VF48 to 18G swap questions

Long story short: Will the 04XT oil feed line fit on the 18G? When I swapped in the VF48, I had to bend the line a small amount to fit it.

Yesterday I got protuned and kinda down about results, 283whp/299wtq @ peak 21psi tapering to 18psi, I was really hoping to be at least 300whp. I know it's naive to want to hit an hp mark but when I bought the car earlier in the year, I set myself a goal and can't really sleep easy until I reach it.

Tuner said I can still hit that mark without needing to upgrade fuel injectors since there's still some headroom by swapping in an 18G.

Get an IAG flexible feed. You'll never have to worry about bending/fitment again!
Just be sure to order by turbo model. I assure you money well spent
