I second not going with cheap chinese fittings, as they WILL fail eventually.

Only use Speedflow, Fragola et al

Also ensure you only use PTFE lines too

Surprising

They've been very very helpfull all the times I've been in there - to the point they showed me a few tricks with the lines and fittings and we made one of the lines on his bench for free.

I must admit it was a while ago (few years, closer to a decade). I went in there, and immediately once they figured I was trying to get stuff for a jap import they did not want to deal with me. I got wiff of it is not for an yank tank or Australian sibling I am not a customer.

GSS all good, brought my turbo in and just said "make it work please", charged arm and a leg for fittings, but goddamn they last forever.
No "stance", no "hellaflush", none of that bullshit. Nothing but no grip on full boost.

Had the same experience with Cardwells more recently (inside of 2 years). They didn't listen to anything I said, rather than supply what I asked them for - they told me what I should use instead and when I told them what it was for they told me I would never need what I wanted.

All I wanted was a simple fitting that is listed in their catalogue but had to come in from overseas. I already had the part number and I told them I was happy to pay whatever cost were associated with it but it seemed getting the fitting in was too much effort - especially after I said it was for an MR2.

I have dealt with them once through email and a couple of times over the phone they couldn't have been more helpful or willing....

Cardwells

They all sell good fittings

NZKW for simple fittings, I tried out their PTFE versions on my fuel system and they seem to be of good quality and have not leaked.
