Where would I find a BSP tap? Does anyone know?
I am trying to tap the hole where the wastegate arm went through so I can put a plug in it.  A 5/8-18 NF makes slight cuts in the metal. I am actually trying to find one that will match the plugs in the oil filter housing. It will fit perfect if I can find a tap to match it. -------------------- Thanks, Bud!

I wouldn't do either. The heat from the exhaust will bake/burn it out. The threads themselves should seal fine.
