    These fitting seem to be the perfect size, onward with the installation. Just hope the small NPT size stays in the manifold under boost lol. Thanks Vollosso!

    If you blow an epoxied npt fitting out of the manifold you'll probably be the first...

    On the plenum where the fins are inline with #5 runner there are two bosses that are undrilled. Those can easily be drilled and tapped for 1/8 NPT and are IMHO the best location for installing a nipple to pipe thread fitting as you have extra 'meat' for the threads in that location.

    I did mine exactly like those 2 lower ones he has. Working great so far with just teflon tape. They're pretty damn tight in there

    Both of them are 1/8npt with a 1/4" barb. I probably shouldve gone with the 1/8 barb to match my boost gauge and bov fittings but I was able to slide over the lines onto them anyways for a tighter seal. I bought the clear vacuum tubing from the hardware store that seems to be pretty strong and won't collapse. I think it was like 10 cents a foot lol. If you have your BOV / boost gauge already just bring it with you to Lowes / Home Depot and match it up to the fittings on them

    You should've seen the clear tubing that came with my boost gauge. I probably wouldn't even be able to use it as a straw

    So we have the same ones, just mine is a different NPT. I'll still try it to see if it works for me. Can't be too worried about it, I still have a bunch of shit I need to take care of.

    Well his car is running and mine isn't so I can't say much considering he started after me and finished before me, although we do have different circumstances lol.

    Lol true, but my planning stage was close to 5 years. In that time I bought 2 different setups and parted them out because it wasn't the right timing. Finally made the push to get it done and it's worth all of the struggles

    N/A was a lot of fun, I don't regret it at all. It was just unfortunate that the car broke right when I bought a house, a truck, and had a kid or else it would already be done. No worries, it'll be done soon now that I have my turbo.
