its just a vacuum log/manifold, similar to GE but different design. so you dont have to tee off of your current lines like 5 times.

I made mine out of the little black box that goes to to the cruise control. Its a backup for extra vacuum for the cruise control. Since I don't have CC anymore, I drilled holes in each side and four going down it and tee'd it into the brake booster line. I used jb weld around the fittings to make sure they are sealed. Kinda ghetto but free from parts I had laying around. Holds 10psi + no problems!!

NOw working on a Catch Can made outta an old honda power steering reservoir. I just need a copy of the endyn catch can directions!!

tapping int acrylic is usually a bad idea, the threads dont hold very well. And because it is pipe thead, that may not be the best material, overtighten a little, and CRACK. DO you supply plugs for the ports that are not used? Because the holes are so close together...does that make it difficult to install fittings in adjacent holes?
Try making it out of aluminum?
Hope i didnt **** you off, just trying to help, it is a good, inexpensive, and effective design.

i agree, it could crack easily with overtightening...
aluminum ones would be nice... especially if they had brackets to mount them somewhere
