Where To Buy Fittings To Connect Boost Hose To Pipes

[Harey]

Hi,

I am trying to diagnose a boost drop problem. I have performed the following test (see pic) where the hose was connected to the hot pipe and then the pressure in the manifold. As you can see there is a large drop. I had a larger turbo before and it would also drop down to ~15.5psi no matter how hard I run the turbo. I tried 5 different actuators etc. We also troubleshooted the exhaust etc.

I would like to install a fitting just after the intercooler on the cold pipe and see what the pressure reading is there. Interesting to note that Randon_I_Am has exactly the same issure on his R34 with different Hypergear turbo and return flow intercooler.

Where do I buy these fittings from? Surely there is some kit that I can buy that I can easily block off when I have nothing connected. Last time I found a copper one which isnt ideal for welding to the pipe.

Any help much appreciated!
