a98pmalcolm Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) Hay all. I'm interested in getting braided vacuum pipes for my turbosmart wastegates. Ideally ones that have a threaded end to them. And threaded adapters to replace the standard push fit connectors on the wastegates (as they screw out) Are these sort of things available? Or has anyone carried out a conversion like this? Thanks Paul Edit: Found that they do the threaded adapters http://www.turbosmartdirect.com.au/product_p/ts-0505-2008.htm Edited October 16, 2012 by a98pmalcolm (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikedjack Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 we did some on an r33 GTR with a twin wastegate fullrace kit on it, looked and performed ace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 I think a company near me called Trist Draper Hydraulics should be able to help. Just thought of them. Always helped in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I made up braided lines on my single - got all my bits from think automotive and made the lines up myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I made mine up myself. You can use -3an or -4an it's your choice, I went for -3an. The thread in the top of the Tial wastegate is 1/8 NPT, I'd imagine turbosmart is the same, the BOVs are. I ordered my parts from Speedflow, although TorquesUK on eBay are now selling -3an stuff and there quality is very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjavon Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 although TorquesUK on eBay are now selling -3an stuff and there quality is very good. I've used them and agree, the quality is fine in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clausz Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I can only recommend Torques, have used them a lot of times. They have plenty of AN3 parts now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
