Yup, because you can really tell the difference between 1/8 NPT and an M8 bolt. I highly doubt garrett would use pipe thread anywhere on the turbo.

Re: stupid bolt

Yeah that looks like the nipple fitting for the wastegate. Just get a bolt and washer form the hardware store like everyone else said and use some teflon tape or something so it doesn't leak boost.

i had a 1/8npt fitting + tap hole right where yours is on my airesearch garrett 42/48

thats like saying an american car wouldnt use metric nuts/bolts on their cars...

ford automatics have metric stamped into the trans pan :1 :1
