Water pipe thread size
Sorry, bit of a n00b question here. I did some searching on 'tuners, but found conflicting results. What's the tread size for the turbo water feed line off the water pipe? I want to block it off with a brass plug like the one you can get at AMS (but w/o paying $8.50 + shipping and waiting for it). Is it NPT, SAE? Thanks!

Re: Water pipe thread size
Not sure on the exact size but i found one at home depot that fit well enough to never leak.

Re: Water pipe thread size
A bit off topic, but......Clint, did you pick up a new turbo?

Re: Water pipe thread size
It's an inverted flare, or metric pipe tread.

Re: Water pipe thread size
When you buy the plug can you pick up an extra one for me Clint? I will need to block that off with the 50 trim as well.
