Default Vacuum Block....any vendors have them?

I was looking for a vacuum block for dealing with all the vacuum lines. Something that looks nice and quality instead of all the "T" fittings

Any makers or vendors?

Golden Eagle makes one, I've seen them used on other turbo cars. I can probably order you one, if you're interested. I think they run about $35.

Ooo, that looks nice. Does it come with fittings for the 6 openings or do I need to get them separate. Man, ZPI has all the cool stuff.

Oh, and how much hp does it add. j/k

All the holes are 1/8" NPT. We can get you fittings with barbs, you you can get them at home depot/lowes/etc..

It's available in 4 colors.. Polished, Silver, Titanium and Black.. I've also seen it roaming around in like blue and red, but I don't know if that's available.

The fittings shouldn't be any more than a buck or two each..

If you want one, let Keisha know, and she can have it ordered. We probably don't have any in stock at the moment.

Oh, and as for the HP. I hear it adds about 30 to the wheels, but everyone said the dyno was off.. so it'll probably deduct about 45 hp..

Sorry!

Just makes it easier to reference a vacuum source.. You get into a turbo setup, and you've got wastegate, blow off valve, boost gauge, etc.. so you end up with a lot of vacuum t's.. this just gives you one distro block.. like a wiring block for a stereo system

No performance gains. Just easier to service/troubleshoot, and looks nice.

Not really.. Unless you've got a bunch of things that need vacuum reference sources.

Looks like you have a big influence on ZPI. You ask and they produce!
