RS2 intake vacuum fitting part number

[twoqu]

Might be worth having a word with Lupo911(Carsten from Wagner). His inlets come with a few fittings. Do you know what size thread it is?
The small fittings that come with the Wagner appear to be M6 with a 4.5mm barb. Not sure whether he supplies all the needed fittings.

[saltinot]

Yes, I actually have a Wagner intake and the vacuum fitting that he supplies. unfortunately I need an M8 thread so the one from the Wagner manifold are too small thread-wise.

It's funny that you mention that because I was thinking of asking Carsten if he could source something for me. Paging Carsten!

I appreciate the offer to make one. If all else fails I might have to go that route.

It looks like there is another size fitting on this pic which came from Carsten!

Oh the worries of the OEM King

when you least expect it then it will show up exactly as you want it

Why dont you take the 2 broken bits to a machine shop, they should be able to knock one up easy enough.

[saltinot]

Yes, I spoke to my machinist a few months back and he said he could make one from scratch if I wanted, but the price would be around 70USD.

I was hoping I could come up with a less expensive solution......or even a factory one.

Ehh?? are you serious? try a different one, coz i think he's taking the pi##

[saltinot]

Serious. I'll ask around.

Just buy a fitting with the hose nipple of 5mm and then get it with some kinda NPT or BSP thread slightly larger then M8.
All the machine guy needs to do is re-thread it to M8, that should not cost more then 10-20$ if you ask nicely

I have the same problem as Saltinot.
I've been searching and reading several forums and came up with the image above.
Don't you think those nipples in the MBC could work?

I'm still on the hunt for a replacement also. Not an issue yet with the motor still on the stand, but need one soon.

I need to start asking around though. Not much luck in the US since this is a M8 fitting.

Tom remind me before le mans. I'll take one with me for you.

[Jonas_R]

Tom I have some contact for a firm in Denmark that sells all kinds fittings for cars.

I'm sure he has something, I could ship it with the other parts if you like?

But just to clarify, it needs to be M8 thread? and then what size hose does it need to fit?

[Thuppu]

So the thread size is M8? I'm almost sure we got some here in our local shop, I can ask alround. Fitted this to my Comp, threadsize it 1/8NPT though...
