    Need some turbo line fitting help

    Hey guys I recently purchased a set of turbo coolant and oil lines and am having problems installing them, first off every line connection on the turbo end is wrong, very very aggravating since these are not cheap at all. anyways I'm trying to find a fitting to convert 8an to a 3/4-18 inverted flare, both sides need to be male and as short as possible.

    I have searched high and low and cannot find this, I have started to accept the fact of I might have to go from 8an to NPT then NPT to 3/4-18, but I'm having troubles finding even a 3/4-18. Which is not what I wanna do but if I cannot find the right setup I am going to have to, anyone have any suggestions on this?

    Now the fittings that came in the kit are all NPT which I have to remove the brass fittings in the turbo and I really don't want to break them off, since I know how that stuff goes, I tried swapping to a bigger sv and one bolt broke and I said screw it.

    There's a Parker Store near me where I went to get a turbo line remade longer when I went to install and was about 0.5" too short.
    They have a crap ton of fittings and could order anything possibly made.

    I had them come up with fitting conversions to replumb Slug's secondary fuel pump, and Mini's custom a/c hoses.
    I'd almost bet they could do something.

    The name is Inline Fluid Power in Smithfield, NC if you want to try calling them try to talk to Zach.
    Maybe they could do a phone order. I don't know for sure, though.

    I ended up saying screw it and went to remove the factory brass fittings, they came right out, that's what I get for not even trying, I did the SV and just went, hell no way those are coming out, I feel like an idiot this could have saved me 2 weeks of bs. Thanks for the info anyways!!!!!

    No sweat! Glad it worked out.

    But the crappy thing is some of the turbo line kits come with steel fittings. Those will "never" come out once good and rusted in!
