vacuum lines
« on: June 10, 2011, 11:47:34 am »
Ok, so i've been reading up into where to plumb the vacuum lines in for boost gauge etc but what i really wanna know is does it matter how many times you can splice into a vacuum line before the pressure drops (if it will?)

I need afew lines (boost gauge, dump valve, boost pressure switch aquamist and possibly nitrous in the future) but surely you cant keep running them all off the same pipe?

At the mo, the PS is run off the front of the throttlebody and the boost gauge is off the line to the ECU (not ideal i know, thats why im asking).

Gonna look right pikey too if they all come from the same place.

cheers people ;)

You can get vacum distribution blocks if you need that many, there sold by emerald check the website fetured in this months ppc, run a single vacum to them and it allows upto 6 or 8 connections

ah ha. cheers chap. Would seem a better solution than several T-pieces on the same line. I'll have a look now.
