Think the thread size on the 2 ports is 1/8 NPT

dependant on your boost control soleniod port size and also boost reference port size use the same hose tail fitting size on the wastegate.

If using silicone hose, buy a good quality hose, use metal securing clips, and heat protect the hose with sleaving.

 

You can use AN fittings instead of hose tail fittings, and use a 1/8 NPT to 3AN fitting, and run 3AN braided hosing instead of Silicone, this would be the preffered method.

I've used 1/8npt to -3an fittings. Check out my project thread, I've just installed then so it should be in the mast couple of pages.

Stephen you can get them from any good Hydraulics supplier, theres a few down your way- AA Hydraulics, Proturn, Northern Hydraulics

 

They use JIC as a standard, which is the same as AN, so your looking JIC 3 to 1/8 NTP adapters, they also could make the lines up for ya too
