Default Wastegate actuator hose barb fitting size?

Hello all,

I recently purchased a Tomei Wastegate Actuator from someone on here (along with the turbo) and the hose barb fitting on the wastegate actuator snapped during shipping. I've tried ordering a few different sized barb fittings but they've all been too big. (1/8 and 1/16 NPT were both too big)

I'd appreciate if anybody knows and could share the exact size of this barb fitting. Thanks!

Take it a hardware store and use the fittings they have on a chain to test and see what fits?

Yeah I tried that. My local hardware store doesn't carry anything smaller than 1/16 npt

Figured it out myself. Seems to be a #6 on the threaded side
