    Thread size of S2 turbo nipple

    I need to know the thread size for the nipple that connects a pipe from the turbo to the WGFV.

    Any one know this?

    Thanks.

    Normally it is 1/8 NPT which is a tapered thread so it seals

          What turbo?
          Just checked an RS2 one and its an ordinary 10X1.0mm thread!

            That's why I said normally

            Stock turbo and aftermarkets use the 1/8 NPT

              Well it looks like 034 145 779D joint pipe is common to all KKK24 variant turbos on the 20VT!
              So if its M10X1.0 on the RS2 its the same on the stock K24.

                I thought RS2 and S2 had the same?

                I need the size for an rs2 one as thats what i have on my car. Im replacing all the WGFV hoses with braided vac lines and AN fittings.

                Thanks for the info guys!

                    Bo!
                    If you have a clean male brake union you can use that to verify the thread like I have just done!

                        The one out of my K24 is 10x1, definitely not a taper thread ...I've put it in the hybrid with a dowty washer to seal it.
