hks gt wastegate

Hey i have searched but can not find what i am looking for. This is a dumb *** question but o well. I have the gt wastegate like in the picture. It only came with one nipple for a vac line to be installed. I am installing this to a profec b and was wondering if i needed to use both nipples (buy another one) or just use the top or bottom one.

Thanks Landen

Yes, you need both for any boost controller.
You need to get another fitting.

Hardware and auto parts stores stock 1/8 NPT to 1/4" hose barb nipples. They are easy to find.

From last week-

Actually, they really are English threads on the HKS GT 60mm wastegate

We use National Pipe Thread (NPT) in fractions of an inch and these threads are British Standard Pipe Taper (BSPT) 1/8" 28 threads per inch using the 55 degree Whitworth thread form as employed by nearly all Metric nations.

I bought a couple of 1/8 BSPT to 1/8 NPT adapters for my HKS GT wastegate when I converted to -6AN lines for it.

Ok i have both on there. Now do i run the top nipple to the profec or the bottom nipple? One goes from the nipple to the profec then to the intercooler piping nipple correct. Were does the other nipple on the wastegate go to?

thanks a ton for all the help guys

YES THE SIDE NIPPLE DOES but you need a T fitting for this and it goes from wastegate to intercooler pipe then to profec. T fitting at the pipe.

Were does the other nipple on the wastegate go to?

ALSO TO THE PROFEC. YOU NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOSE GOES WHERE ON THE PROFEC. I DO NOT KNOW THE PROFEC SET UP BUT ALL BC ARE SIMILAR



got that?..man I suck at using this forum quote stuff
