Thanks to all.
I made a run to a different hardware store a found the parts
Chris Chambers sent pics of, indeed it was a 3" cleanout.
The fit is really tight, I didn't think it would possibly fit
but I did manages to shoehorn the thing in there. Since I
buggered up my schrader valve on the previous attempt I used a
1/4" NPT quick connect on this second attempt. I turned down
my regulator to very low, what seemed to indicate 10psi. I
never did see my gauge register anything other than 0, but I
did see all the hoses swell, so I figured I had enough pressure.
Found the culprit, the crinkle finished small hose that runs
from the wastegate to the WGFV. A small crack on the underside
of the hose, so not visible from above but I could feel and
hear it.
I trimmed that hose back to a section where it was not cracked
and replaced. I seem to remember and old post where that hose
cost some serious cabbage, in the SAMCO range? Anyone
remember? The clamp on that line at the Waste Gate has a flat
head machine screw that has seen better days, but since I
didn't have a replacement I re-installed the old one.
