Default 4 port vacuum block

any one know if there are stores, on island or online, that sell 4 port vacuum blocks? I seem to be running into dead ends.

It can be easly machined . Its a solid aluminum block with a center channel tapped in from the long end. The vacuum port are alonf one of the skinny side. all ends are threaded and and ports installed. it gives a small vacuum balast and provides multiple ports to tap into for vac feeds (boost controler, pressure sensors, BOV, etc.)

I can't say I know of a place that would have that, athough I'm not even sure I would know what to ask about that. you might want to post this in one of the main forums to see if any of the larger population knows where to get this. I'm assuming that this is something the other FI guys would know where to get. if it helps I do have a machine shop that I used to go to for my mustang so if you think they might be able to fabricate something for you I can give you their number.

Default for those who dont know

This is the vacuum manifold I'm getting:

http://www.accountwizard.com/clients...acuum+Manifold

yeah the link is long but, hey!!!

So yeah I'm probably gonna split the vac lines from twins for boost controler (2), one for the BOV(1), vac guage in pillar (1), vac line for greedy sensor for EU (1) and vac line for the Safeguard (1). That should be all 6 ports. It reduces # and length of lines and splices, over all a more reliable vacuum source for all lines.

I got it for $35 with threaded barbed nipples (yeah sounds kinky )

Now just waiting on twins STILL!!!!!

Yeah, the b!tch about neigbors cast me an a$$ load of cash. with nothing to show for it. plus all these fukin old people do nothing but watch you. The other day I got out of my car and I saw one dik who reported to security that my car idels loud come up to his door and watch me. I got my mail and he moved over to his kitchen so he could see me get the mail. As I walked to the elevator he moved with his face to his screen door and watched me wait for the elevator. WTF!!! He wathced me wait for the elevator to come from the 14th floor down to the first and back up to the 6th. All of like 3 minutes! just standing there, so old hoping he doesnt die in his next breath, just watching.

I ordered the SC origanly in late July, then switched the order the first week of August. Been waiting arround scratching my **** ever since. My luck it will come during the next trip I havve at the end of the month. What the hell been home 2 months with out a trip, no dice man.
