kieren1234 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Where can i get this connector pipe from, it is threaded at one side, and has 'barbs' the other side to connect a hose onto. It is for the compressor housing on a turbo to plum a pipe to the wastegate. It looks like the pipe connectors on this boost controller: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Is it just the one barb end you want or 2?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieren1234 Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 As long as it allows a pipe to be connected and has a threaded end then it will be perfect mate. You have any?? i just need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I have the one that came with my turbo mate, didnt your turbo come with one? Ill have a look see if i can find you a supplier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieren1234 Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 No i dont think it did mate, remember i got the turbo and everything second hand (Brand New) so may have been lost then. Not too sure but i really cannot find one anywhere and need it asap as the downpipe is ordered so these are the last parts i need. Go on holiday on 3rd October too so need it soon.

colsoop Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I seem to remember seeing similar fittings for plumbing and for air compressors, have a look at Machine marts website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Good advice Col. You would need a thread guage to determine what thread it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieren1234 Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 I seem to remember seeing similar fittings for plumbing and for air compressors, have a look at Machine marts website. Been to machine mart and fittings for compressors etc are far too big. Thanks anyway mate, surely a supplier on here can get them?!?!!??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Have a look on the RS Components website - I think they're under the 'pneumatic' section. I bought some for my GReddy boost solenoid from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this will be what i need but the barbed pipe fitting may be too thick for my piping: http://rswww.com/cgi-bin/bv/rswww/searchBrowseAction.do?D=1%2f8in%20hose&Nr=AND%28avl%3auk%2csearchDiscon_uk%3aN%29&Ntk=I18NAll&Nty=1&Ntt=1%2f8in%20hose&Dx=mode%20matchpartial&Ntx=mode%20matchpartial&N=0&name=SiteStandard&forwardingPage=line&R=6202195&callingPage=/jsp/search/search.jsp&BV_SessionID=@@@@0386829750.1189586290@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccdgaddlmfejlijcefeceeldgondhgi.0&cacheID=ukie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 At a guess, 3.5mm would be too small for compressor pipes. You need to find out what the bore is in order to choose the right one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieren1234 Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 Post a pic mate. Still coming round? Will have to be this week as im away the weekend... Not sure mate as im really busy this week and dont have a car to use as the missus is using it for work. Will let you know though buddy. At a guess, 3.5mm would be too small for compressor pipes. You need to find out what the bore is in order to choose the right one. Yeah mate, i have two connectors alreay that are connected to the wastegate and suppose i could measure them.
