I have a line running from the nipple on rear of blower to a distribution block where all my boost ref stuff is hooked. Boost guage is attached here as well.

This way works nice if u are going to have multiple things boost ref.
Mine feeds boost guage, boost ref for Hobbs switch, and ref for meth.

I dont have a pic of any of it, what did you want a picture of? As Brian stated, the nipple on rear of blower is where my line attaches. There are a couple places that make vacuum blocks (whatever the hell they are called) I pretty much made mine and it is attached in corner of engine compartment on drivers side. Its hidden so there isnt much to see, this is so everything looks cleaner.

03sierraslt is talking about a vacuum manifold. Let's you run multiple items off one vacuum source. If you can tee into a large vacuum line like for your brake booster line, the vacuum manifold can run everything.

Ya, what he said. Glad someone knows what it's called. That's very similar to what I have.
