Default testing waters...vaccum boxes

my friend and i have started making some prototype vaccum boxes out of plexiglass. i've got one on my car and it holds like a champ. we've pressure tested each one to hold atleast 100 psi and not one has leaked yet. tell me what you think. i may start making more and selling them fairly cheap. i can build custom boxes with as many or little brass nipples as you want.

these boxes will probably be in the $40-50 range. plexiglass is pretty pricey. the b18b redlines at 7000 so i haven't reved past that. and the sc61 is incredible

it distributes vaccum pressure to things that need vaccum. i've got it hooked up to my boost gauge, wastegate, fuel pressure regulator, and bov. i think it looks much cleaner than running tee's into all the hoses.

we're building it out of plexi...plexi is expensive. you don't have to buy one if you want...we're just getting an idea of how well this would work. besides, they're all custom built, you can order it however you want it

Looks like you drilled a deep hole, drilled 4 holes perpendicular to that, and then screwed in 5 barbed nipples into those holes. I don't think anyone would want to pay $50 for that ... I'd rather just run T's. although, nice attempt on something custom
