Default 10mm, 90 degree elbow pipe for DRAG Wastegate

Well basically for the Greddy Profec Type-S it is not regulating the boost at the wastegate at all. I had a boost spike of 21psi until the Hondata boost cut kicked in. We figured out that its a dual port setup and my car only had 1 port hooked up. The problem is I need to find the 10mm, 90 degree elbow metal piping that runs into the wastegate from the solenoid.


I tried Home Depot, Lowe'e, Autozone, Advance Autosports and I cant find ****. Anyone know where they carry this thing?! This small damn thing caused me to drive around town for like 2 hours.

Looks like this except one end is 10mm while the other end is barely big enough to fit a hose tightly so there is no vacuum leak. Wish this thing wasnt metric.

I went to an auto place that said they could custom make one. Well when he was about to start he couldnt do it cuz he said he didnt have the tools to make metric. He measured with a 10mm nut and it fit right. Im thinking it was made in Japan so the damn thing is hard to find. Does Japan use the metric system?

lol are you serious? go try and use a standard, non-metric ratchet on some of the bolts and nuts on your car and come back and tell us how it works.
