How many T's in a single vacuum line? Doing my vacuum plumbing and I wasn't sure if it's a good idea to have a bunch of T's in the same line. Inside the dash I'll need the boost gauge, boost controller, meth kit and boost control solenoid. I wasn't sure if I could run 1 line in then splice a bunch of T's or not.

That may not be the best idea. The more you are pulling from a single vac source the weaker the vac will be toward the end of your line. Which can make it hard to fine tune due to misreading of pressure. Ask me how I know...

I was wondering this too. I have a T for the boost gauge but I'm adding a hobbes switch for the dual pump and will be running a vacuum modulator for the transmission, I was planning to run those off of that T as well.

isnt there a box with multiple access points for tapping the line several times that doesn't effect how the vac is effected from one side to another?

I have a manifold in the engine compartment but I really hate to run 4 seperate lines into the cabin if I don't have to. I'm starting to run out of room to go through the firewall.
