No its 1/8th NPT on the GT42

On the T76 it is 1/4 npt..

Its depends on which CHRA... I know on the T3/T4's we run in DSMs its all 1/8th NPT and the BIG garrets are all 1/4 NPT....

Incidently the hole for a 1/8th NPT is about 1/4" since NPT refers to the tubing diameter associated with the fitting not the fitings actual size.

Are you using braided line with AN (army-navy) fittings, or do you need a barbed fitting to slip a rubber hose on to, where you use a worm clamp? You should be able to find the barbed style at your local Napa store. The AN style will most likely be found at your local High Performance shops. Bob

Go to a hydraulic hose shop...

Like services cat, bobcat, case etc...

I did my whole car thru the same place I get stuff made for equipment and aircraft... Alot less $ than something like earls fittings too.

You need a 1/8 npt to 3 or 4 an adapter fitting and probably a 90.

Aha Your GT42 is on a T4 CHRA... We run T4/T3 hybrids... That is why.

Find a hvy equipment hose shop...

They can make or fix anthing on the spot w/o shipping, highperf pricing or BS...
