BSP taps are british straight pipe threading. They can be harder to find than the NPT (national pipe thread) but the common sizes can be found in an Ace hardware. Otherwise, you can get them online.
Ok guys after what happened sat. night, it definitely reminded me that I should buy my alarm and have it installed right after the tune. I am probably going with a computstar...soo...where should I get it installed any recommendations?? I obviously want the high quality worksmanship...so where should I go...?
You tap it by pre-drilling a hole that's appropriately sized for the tap you'll be using...the tap tells you what sized hole to use. Then you get a tap and handle and slowly tap the hole by using the same motion you would use to put a bolt in, but instead, you use some cutting oil and carefully advance, retreat, and repeat as you tap the hole.

I'll have to order one of these taps in advance then.
short version, Kevins, and my Evo and our buddy Jays' rx-8 were parked outside of bugaboo in burlington while we were eating,...upon returning to our cars, we see 2 cars of people who were walking around our cars see our lights flashing and kevins car starting, then proceed to jump in there cars and take off.....pretty sketchy..they were up to no good, luckily we got there in time

go to mertic screw and tool in woburn. they have them. that's about the only place locally that does.
i believe the jet is an m8x1.0 and the adapter plate is 1/8 bsp. i would definitely recommend using the plate because m8x1.0 is very time and very easy to screw up.

they have 3 jets, .8, .9 and 1.0. I'm going to use a 1.0. Will that be a m8x1.0?

yah- the size is the orifice size of the nozzle, not the nozzle itself. they all require an m8x1.0 hole, unless you use the adapter plate which is 1/8 bsp. again, that's the way to go because it comes with a block off plate as well so you can seal the hole if you need to remove the jet.
the 1.0 jet is for large injectors so it may be a bit too much for stock injectors- that's why i was asking about that.

If the jet sizing is diameter-based then I'd guess that a 1.0 would be 1.0 centimeters and therefore an M10 hole. (SEE EDIT)
To clarify, you have:
MX x Y x Z
M= Metric, dimensions in mm
X=Diameter
Y=Threads per mm
Z=Depth of cut
EDIT: I'm probably wrong about this, I'm not sure of aquamists's size/labeling
