That is what I ended up building today to make it fit. We will see if in a few minutes if it leaks or not. I will be sourcing a better built one soon, but hopefully this suffices for now.
Basically I needed both -4AN on both sides. For some reason -4AN screwed into my turbo perfectly.
Quoted for posterity.
That is desperation folks. That's like hitting 4 different corner stores with your fake ID trying to score the wine coolers the fat chick sitting bitch in your '82 Corolla wants so she'll get frisky enough to ****.

The funny thing is is that it still leaks, but it is the correct fittings on both sides. I will be converting it down to 3 pieces tomorrow and I should be able to make those not fit. We will see. Tomorrow will be a long day on my miata trying to get it to work.

What type of thread sealant? It actually only leaks at the top fitting which I could new screw in except by hand. The hardware store will be the first place I go in the morning to get a different fitting to make it only 3 pieces.

all he knows is his -4an to 7/16-24 inverted flare fitting did not fit. Searching here says it's probably a m12 x 1.5 fitting. He tried running the -4an side of his fitting into it and it fit perfectly, so he jerryrigged a -4an union. But I know he can find one local...but I'm sure he went drinking instead.

Thank you for the reassurance that it is ok to be an Alcoholic. I actually ran out of beer last night. I guess I need to go buy more today.

So now my car does not get a correct CAS signal for some reason. I am not sure what caused that not to work between Sunday and today. I ******* hate wiring. So please someone tell me it would be a bad idea to pull my dash and to make a wiring harness from scratch.
On the plus side I found an old pentium 3 laptop with a real serial port at goodwill for $25. **** works awesome.
