I thought the Tuner Toys block fitting was BSPT and NPT?
Well i bought the TT block fitting for $30 shipped to my house and seeing as how much this thing costed me it was nicely made and it was advertised as 1/8 BSP(t) and 1/8 NPT, BUT heres the catch; i have the SS line and i went out to buy some fittings so i went to my local performance shop and bought a -4an to 1/8 NPT fitting and what do you know it didn't fit... 
So on top of that i had to spend another $10 to buy an autometer 1/8 NPT to 1/8 BSPT inorder to fit my original fitting on the line, someone please explain.
EDIT:
This is what i originally bought...

yup, i tried the claimed NPT side port and it obviously didn't fit so i tried the BSPT end port and it didn't fit, and so i took off the plug for the final port on the other side and you guessed it; didn't fit. I thought it was the fitting so we got another one from another brand made out of steel and same thing. I am glad it now all fits but i still want a reason for this 'false advertisement'? I only call it that because it seems to me like all 3 female ports are all BSPT.

I just used one with my install and didn't have any problems?!?! Talk to Craig I'm sure he will figure it out, he was real helpful when I was purchasing items form TT. Don't just post up and bash them without trying to talk him. They have some great prices and and shipped me some u bends hella fast so give him a chance to figure it out...Matt

Yeah same here. When I used them I didn't have a problem with fittings at all. And its not like these are one off customs pieces that would make each one different. I'd imagine that the fittings were wrong, not the block fitting
