No local parts stores have it/can get it
Yup. I wouldn't imagine any part stores carrying it. You'll have to order it from that site or straight from Mitsu.

8MM X 1.5
10MM X 1.25
10MM X 1.5
12MM X 1.5

That's the size. Maybe you put too much teflon tape on the threads or didn't clean the liquid tape off the threads well enough when removing the block-off plug.

That's the exact same fitting I have on my engine. And I know there are a couple others using that same fitting also.

Tight 90degree molder elbow (to clear hydraulic clutch)
2 -4AN female fittings

Well I didnt start on the case because the compressor to get the crank pulley is at a friends and I will get to that tomorrow.

I did however install the walbro fuel pump and took off my fuel rail.

My impreza 2.5 injectors(straight swap of WRX's but only 280cc) don't look like they will work, so I will need to find some new ones soon.

I will update tomorrow, this case is going to be a ***** and will probably take longer to do than a turbo install, lol. But hopefully by Sunday I can drive it around!

PS: I am very sick of seeing my 11,000mi car sitting in my garage undriveable!!!!!!!!!!! I will drive it soon though
