I have a watercooled DSM turbo. The water inlet/outlet is 12mm 1.25 thredded female. Where can I buy a hose adapter? (Earl's doesn't seem to have it. Only have 12mm 1.5 thread.)

 

i used an air hose fitting to make the turbo work on my talon, it screwed right into the turbo, had to use some teflon tape tho to get it to seal. but it cost me a whole $2 and worked fine, no leaky and no problems. it was a fitting that people like to use for boost controllers.

 

take the turbo with you to ace hardware. they've ALWAYS had the fittings I couldn't find anywhere else...

 

Yea, ACE is place for me, too !!

 

Thanks for the suggestions, but I already took it to ACE and found nothing. Ace has no metric hose fitings at all.

I know the water-cooled housing is used a lot. Isn't there anyone who knows where to get the fittings?

PS I've gone to DSMtrader.com and don't get any listings. The "subject" area is blank on the adds. Of course DSMtrader has absolutely no way of contacting them. Anyone else have this problem? I'm thinking I can buy the fittings off of someone there, but ....

 

go to pep boyz, find the brass fitting that is just a tad bit bigger than the hole. take the fitting to a grinder so that you taper it (end is smaller diam. so you can screw it in and thread it), if you do it right you can just screw it in and it'll self thread and the seal will be tight.
