Default Vacuum block question.

I recently installed a system in a friends truck and he in turn made me a small aluminum box that I could use as my vacuum block. I haven't drilled any holes in in yet except for the one on the end so he could seal it.

What is a normal amount of fittings I should put in/drill for?

1.)boost controler
2.)wastegate
3.)blow-off valve
4.)boost guage

My mapsensor is being fed from another fitting already (block plate with nipple from tuner toyz)

Is there anything else?

Tap 1/8 fitting for all those vacuum units listed. Auto parts store should sell fitting for 1/8 npt.

I know I can get the nipples (I work @ an auto parts store) My question was how many would be need do you think?

It's not real big. he pic makes it look like it though.

It's only around 6'' tall and 2.5'' wide.

Sure why not. I have 2 that he made. One held only 1200psi and the other one held as much as the compressor could throw at it. He made it at his school.

I don't have an over abundance of cash and if I can trade my time of putting in an amp/sub in his F150 and him in making these then I am all about it. He said he would make them for free but I felt I owed him something.

anyways.

mcmaster is a neat site. thanks for posting the link.
