Default Need a vacuum source for you boost referenced stuff?

I bought this about 3 months back, and only realized while I was installing the 60lb mototrons, that I hadn't shared what a time saver and a clean functional lil item this is for adding boost gauges, ADJ FPR's, BOV's, Hobb's switches....anything that needs a boost/vacuum signal and you can find em for around 20-30 bucks on ebay or GP's on riceboards(where I got mine....had to register as a rice dude but got the deal on the vacuum manifold ....you can score all sorts of FI related hardware on the riceboards in their GP's ) They come polished, titanium finish, natural and another finish but I can't remember which color it is...and I am colorblind so the lil pic doesn't help me at all lol.
I got the natural finish.

This is the Golden Eagle Vacuum manifold......



Here it is installed on my car





And here is a diagram for all it can do(turbo app, but blowerguys get the idea)


It really cleans up the engine bay, and you don't have to splice and tee into everything and it's a really nice lil piece of machined aluminum. It has mounting tabs and hardware to mount it up, but I found a nice place for it next to the ABS block.
I have mine going to the BOV, ADJ FPR, Hobbs Switch for inline 255lph fuel pump and the boost gauge. The holes are tapped but you have to drill out the bottom so you use as many signals as you need, there are 6 tapped holes. I am using 4.

I have it tee'd into the brake booster line as this comes off the back of the manifold too.

If you don't wanna get in on a GP, you can get something very similar at McMaster Carr

I had one on my old incon setup
