Default Turbo Vacuum lines.

OK, the car is a soon to be turboed Integra. The vacuum line running from the FPR to the intake vanifold is currently t-d and has my boost gauge and vortech FMU feeding off it. I need a good vacuum source for my boost controller. Is it ok to run another T to it? Is it going to be all leached out?
If its a overload, any other suggestions for a vacuum line on the drive side of the engine compartment? Thanks.

Brake booster. use a tee off that, but make SURE you use hose clamps on all connections.

don't forget if you need more vacuum sources you can use your cruise control vac line. (if you have/had cruise control)

Vacuum lines are pressurized system, I believe you can hook them up all together in a row and it wil still work. Companies like GE, mcmaster carr make a little box that has multiple ports on it to "T" everything off of this box.

yeah you could spend that money and do that, but chances are you are broke like the rest of us after a turbo install so 35 cent t's will work fine. use the compressor, brake booster, and the couple sources on the intake mani. that should be all you need. good luck
