The same one fits the FG, just have to reverse the fittings.

To anyone wanting pics, we keep the better ones in stock and can get some pics when back at work next week unless some show up earlier

If buying off ebay or online, don't go off the pics, confirm with them first.

I made that mistake, image showed a screw fitting and I got a crimped one. Didn't bother to argue it, but it hasn't leaked yet, fingers crossed.

that sux, buy with paypal as you can dispute things and they generally rule in your favor if you have all facts lined up

I know I could have had it replaced as the item wasn't as described in the listing, but I couldn't be bothered, plus it has 12 months warranty.

I just keep an eye on it, so far so good, guess I'm lucky, for now.

Yep Motorsport Connections are the way to go. No such thing as crimped fittings in turbo lines with them I dont think. Could possibly be cheaper also.

I paid $180 for mine posted to my door.

Dont forget not all crimped fittings are bad. The majority of braided brake lines are crimped with clear sleeve. The manufacturers of these lines that fail obviously have an issue with their crimping machine and or their quality control is poor.
