anyone know where to get a vacuum block? There was a local dyno day at one of the shops here and the owner of fast track turbos was there with his focus (very clean, slow but clean) and he had a vacuum block that did away with all the plastic "t" fittings, it was pretty simple to make probably, but before i do i just wondered if anyone know of places that sell them....

not a block in the sence that i stop the vacuum. I'm talking about somthing that would bbe like a distrubition block (like stereo's use) except for vacuum....

Why not just have a vacuum line and then tee off of it as many times as necessary. If more vacuum lines are really needed to the extent that you ned more than say 6-7 sources, then I'd recommend drilling into your intake plenum and welding some nipples on it.

the more you t off a line the weaker the vacuum reading will be. you should really try and have all vacumm lines be as close as posible to the intake manifold, if not directly tapped to it.

That could very well be it. when I had a bunch of my lines t off, my boost would not read correctly, my westgate would not recieve a strong boost signal and would not open, and bov sounded like a dying turkey. Now everyting works perfectly!
