    Garret turbos need to be drilled and tapped for a 1/4" hose barb that runs to the wastegate. I'm using push to connect fittings with 1/4" plastic hose. Has anyone installed a 90* push to connect fitting in the compressor housing instead of a 90* brass hose barb fitting?

    Thank you Kevin. It just seems like a cleaner way to do it.

    I agree.. I don't use barb fittings at all.
