Default Post Pics of your Vacuum Distribution Blocks Please!

I'm ready to install my vacuum lines for my FM turbo build and would like to see where the best place to mount my vacuum distribution block. I tried doing a search and couldn't find any good pics.

If no pics, what is the best place you have found for this? I have heard of guys doing it off the brake booster. Is this a good place?



Your feedback is much appreciated!

I used a race parts solutions 5 port aluminum one mounted on the bottom of the cowl. Used all 1/4" nylon hose. You can see the fittings just behind the intake.
