What size is the vacuum fitting on a TC 76 Turbo?


Either I lost mine, or I never had one. I need to get one ASAP!


Thank you in advance.

Ok Thanks. Just needed to confirm before I start stripping stuff.
them - they wouldn't tell me

I lost the wastegate ones as well. I called Turbosmart and they said they are special made from them. They wouldn't tell me the size.

Really? What the hell? Why would they tell me they are special size from the house?! How much money are they trying to make out of two fittings.

I have a Turbosmart WG that has 1/8 BSP ports - this is slightly smaller than 1/8 NPT.  Make sure you get the right thing.

unless you own a turbo ls9 rx7 you do not know what the fuck you are talking about.

Yes.  Most things made in the USA have NPT.  Most things made nearly anywhere else have BSP (Turbosmart is a New Zealand company).  You would absolutely not believe how many retard ricers bring me Hondas with fucked up/leaking oil pressure sender ports on turbo cars because they have forced a 1/8 NPT tee in there.
