Vac blocks work good, I have one also (different brand) but they help clean things up.

Don't have any pics handy, mine is mounted in the corner where the drivers side fender meets the firewall. It's kinda under the fender brace and hidden just like I want it.

The sounds promising, should have plenty of room over there once the hydroboost goes in. Thanks!

never found a reason to ever need a vac block on a turbo setup, curious why you need one on a PD setup as well

How else do you suggest running vacuum lines to BOV, gauge, FPR, catch can, MAP sensor, EVAP (if applicable), etc without t'ing everything together and making a mess of t fittings and vacuum lines? I think with the vacuum block it will just make everything a lot easier and tidier under the hood for vacuum line routing and distribution to everything that needs a vacuum source.

In the last 8 turbo builds and 1 procharger build ive done, ive yet to ever need a block and always looked clean

first catchcan never goes to intake....valve covers and valley cover into catchcan/breather setup and that is it
No evap with boost
you have 1 line going to BOV
you have 1 line going to FPR
you have 1 line going to Map that tees to the boost gauge when using a holley setup
car intakes ive stabbed the map in the intake itself
or incase of GMT900 intake you use a stock style 3 bar map that plugs into the stock location
if using stock style map sensor then 1 line to boost gauge.

most intakes have enough ports to feed off of for reference

ive used fast intakes, holley intakes, Vic juniors intakes, ls6/ls3 intakes, proflo intakes and GMT800/900 intakes all with same layout

This minus a few things... just to make things cleaner. Boost gauge, FPR, Meth MAP... just a few things I want accurate readings for that I dont want to have to rely on T fittings for. The maggie only has 1 port.
