No, IMO the IDs are not big enough for that size turbine. I have changed many fuel systems to enlarge the IDs to suit my understanding of higher flow and lower pressure prior to the pump input. I got my understanding from Oli's fuel system articles.

I get laughed at but here are my rules of thumb. 1/8" ID for 45 to 160N. 3/16" ID from 160 to 210N. 1/4" or 6mm ID from 210 and up. My biggest has been 320N. These IDs are from the vent, through the clunk, to the air trap, to the pump input. Just my way but I see lower PW. no bubbles, and don't have speed low flameouts. Just my way but it has worked for several years.

Good luck.
