Thread sizes for Type R wastegate and profec b-spec II

hello, i had a wategate line blow off the other day and the boost spiked to 20psi!! needless to say i dont want this to happen again so id like to run stainless steel lines and fittings to go from the greddy profec b-spec II electronic boost controler solonoid to my 50mm Greddy Type-R wastegate. i have no idea what fittings will thread into the upper and side ports on the WG and the ports on the boost controller. Can someone who has done this please tell me what the thread size/pitch is on these? Thanks ahead of time

I thought the profec solenoid was 1/8 BSPT (british pipe thread)? http://autotruckpart.com/product.php?productid=316505

so far i know i need this for boost controller solenoid...two 1/8 BSPT male to 1/8 NPT female? or male? i think they make a 1/8 npt male to _AN male. so i need to know weather or not that fitting needs to have both male ends or if the NPT side needs to be female.

now i need to know what fittings thread into the greedy type R wastegate. i know that there is 2 different sizes on the wastegate...

For the solenoid I decided to use this adapter for my Profec solenoid. All you have to do is buy female NPT to male AN to go on these. I used -4.

ok great.. so you need two of these 1/8 BSPT to 1/8 NPT and two 1/8 female NPT to -4 AN male, for the profec b and you ran -4 AN line correct? then what did you need for the wastegate? what kind of wastegate do you have? id assume all the greddy's use the same threads for the two ports. im almost possitive one of the holes takes a bigger fitting but im not sure. i would bet that all the greddy stuff including wastegates and boost controllers use BSPT for fittings..
