Default ATP Turbo quick tap for boost pressure

My GT3076R didn't come with a fitting on the compressor housing for boost pressure.

Has anyone ran the ATP Quick Tap?

http://www.atpturbo.com/Mercha...-FTG1

I'm wondering if it will actually hold up to high boost levels (15-25)? Doesn't this technically weaken the coupler? I was thinking about putting this into my 90 degree transition coming off of the compressor but with all of the flex that the coupler is going to do, will this hold pressure? I'd like to hear experiences!

you dont have to tap the compressor housing.. It will work fine getting your wastegate vac source from a vacume manifold or the intake manifold (depending on the setup). I ran mine from my IM and it was fine, (edelbrock)

That's still an option. I didn't ask if I should tap the housing or use this. I was just curious if anyone has used this and if it works.

Never seen this before, some would rather not drill and tap there turbo, but wouldnt mind cutting a $5 coupler. Looks like it would work fine.id probally cover the nut on the outside in rtv.
