Default Who runs a Vacum Manifold

Personally love the clean and simple look. Im interested in a vacum manifold so I can hook up all my items that need a vacum source to operate and have all the tubes go into one area. I belevie that it would be easier to keep track and keep the engine bay cleaner.

Who here has one and where did you mount it? How did you block off the old vacum sources, also where did you tap to get the main vacum for the manifold? Finally do you think it is worth it? Pics?

Same place as Quadcam's

I think this also helps reduce boost spike and gives more accurate readings from your gauges.

These Blox vacuum manifolds were the nicest I found. They come with all the fittings you need and the fittings aren't cheap plastic. It's the only one I found with enough vacuum ports for everything. It has 6. They are billet aluminum. It also comes with NPT plugs to block off any port you don't want to use. I think I paid $49.

I will have to look at my invoice from Forged, but I think the Vibrant Vacuum box is under $30 and IMHO worth its weight in Gold
