bring all the fittings you do have to a mechanical shop that sells fittings and put your fuel system together...... thats what I did.... cost me like $8.00 cdn for everything thats not a typo.... $8.00..... just tell them you want the fittings to be able to withstand 100+ psi.......
they will get everything for you ..... took 10 minutes...

Come on dude.... No one near you ...

have you NEVER bought a performance part for your car within the area of where you live from a shop..... that shop will have fittings...... pretty much every shop will have fittings... they are simple NPT fittings..... just bring the stuff and look for NPT fittings..... even the CDN tire had it up here...

whats it called in the USA..... parts source.... Auto zone.. something like that ....

Go there...... they DEFINITELY have NPT fittings.......

so .... on the "I don;'t have any performance shops around here"

make the drive with your stuff and get the parts........ your almost turbo... FINISH IT !!!
even if you have to drive 25 miles

there is a check valve on the fuel in line you can take out the shrader valve and use it to supply fuel or use it to check for pressure.

he's talking about the fuel rap TAP. it is not a check valve. check valves prevent flow in one direction and allow it in the other. that is just a test port really.

I dont think its a AN fitting. it 1/8NPT if im not mistaken.
