Vacuum Manifold Installed

Hey guys, thought I'd share some pictures of where I ended up mounting my vacuum manifold. Not the prettiest, but functional. If I keep it this way, I'll probably fabricate some kind of clamp mounting system for it.

I'm sorry that I might be ignorant on this one, but what is this for?

It's just a tidy way to tap a vacuum line multiple times. Looks like he needed two for his BOV and another for the boost gauge. Much nicer looking and probably a tad more reliable than three vacuum tees.

Yeah, as @splattj mentioned, it's just a much nicer way to distribute vacuum lines (I hate using Tees). It's also nice because you can get all kinds of different barbs for whatever you're running.

It's working very well, so far. I really like having it on the bar, as I can angle it slightly if I need to. Not to mention it keeps the length of the lines pretty short.

I think I am going to look for some nice clamps with rubber inserts that I can use to mount this to the bar and then make a mounting plate for the block the attaches to the clamps. Should make for easier movement and removal, if I need to get behind there in the future. However, it's pretty simple to remove the hoses and turn this up and out of the way, as it currently is.
