Got a smoothed truck intake and forgot to leave the MAP sensor bung in. Is it possible to "Y" off the brake hose at the back of the manifold and run both the booster and MAP?

I'm sure someone else will chime in but yes, absolutely. Matt Happel used to do it all the time on his old builds. He didn't use the brake booster but any line to the intake that provides pressure should do the trick. Good luck.
