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 put a T off my brake booster and just ran it near the driver side fender.

Is there any foreseeable problem with taping the brake booster?
