Default Turbosmart Kompact BOV

I just bought a Turbosmart Kompact BOV from Flyin Miata. However, I can't find any hose barb fittings in 1"3/8 for my IC piping. I was wondering if anyone had any other solutions or had somewhere they bought a fitting from. I looked online and also in my local hardware store with no luck. Any help would be great, guys.

Most people would just buy the 1.375" silicone tee. Not really a common size, but if you eBay "1.375 silicone tee" you'll find at least one seller. Not cheap, unfortunately. Either that, or DIY weld a 1.375" aluminum joiner.

I'd think finding one in 34mm would be easier.

Product | Kompact Plumb Back Universal Fit |Turbosmart

Might be worth calling Turbosmart and see what they recommend as well.

Just ordered the silicone tee. Never even thought to convert 1"3/8 to a decimal and try searching that way. About 23 bucks for the silicone adapter. For anyone else wondering, I saw them for sale in 3", 2.5" and 2" with the tee part at 1.375" on each of them. Thanks for all the ideas guys
