Default GM 3 bar map sensor

would it be okay to run a hose from the 3 bar map sensor to my golden eagle vacuum manifold which is right next to it or is that too many "T" 's for the map sensor?

If your using the golden eagle vacuum manifold you shouldnt have any T's.

The vac manifold has what, 6 ports maybe. Are you using all of them already?

well the vacuum manifold is T'd of the brake booster line so there are T's.. and then everything else is connected to the vacuum manifold.

i heard you should hook the map sensor up to its own spot on the intake manifold and not where theres a bunch of T's.

If you run the line of the vac manifold that is T'ed to the brake booster line you will be fine. That brake boosted line can hold alot. I have 6 or 7 things hooked to it with no problem at all.

I'd go that route. MAP should be far away from an extraneous pressure fluctuations, and the stock feed is adequately isolated + baffled.

PS - the poorboy route is to epoxy a plastic barb nipple into that port. The poorboy-trying-to-get-rich route is where you go trolling for high-dollar riceboys and money races by stuffing Motorola 2.5 bar into the stock MAP enclosure. The tards never catch on to that one.

I used the nipple on my stock Y8 intake manifold that used to be for the PCV system to run my vacuum manifold. It's actually the same I.D. as the brake booster.
