Where can you buy aluminum nipples for instance i need to tap a boost source on my hotpipe. I want to weld a nipple on to it which is the same size as the wastegate actuator on a stock T-25. Anyone know what size that is and where to get said nipple?:ghey:

Aluminum or brass, just drill the hole to the size of the thread or a tad smaller so itll thread in(or weld it like u said), buy the one you need for the size of vacuum hose your going use. Should be able to pick them up at any hardware store.

Yeah I'd recommend threading it in, unless you can weld it yourself. AN PLUMBING.COM Earls performance products Hose ends Hose,Adapter fittings (http://www.anplumbing.com), look for 1/4" (-4AN) nipples or hose barb fittings, should have 1/8" NPT threads.
