Is it ok to use brake boost vacuum line for 4 sources?
I was just wondering if it's ok to have my bov, bap, boost gauge, and meth kit all getting vacuum from a block connected to the brake booster vacuum line?

I run a single 1/8 tap on brake booster line and put a main fitting log far away from heat in drivers fender well area for all my needed source feeds. Ive had Hobbs switches fail being right over exhaust heat area before. I do not want any of my switches plumbed right over exhaust manifold.

Most, if not all of these tributary connections aren't considered vacuum leaks. For instance, on the bypass valve, you're simply applying vacuum to a diaphragm, but not moving any significant air unless it's leaking.
This means, it really doesn't matter if you add 10 connections other than the aesthetics part of the equation.

Perfectly Fine, check out this item a vendor is selling...
For install you simply cut your brake booster line and plug it in between.
Price: $67 shipped in the U.S. and that includes 2 brass fittings and 1 brass plug. For an additional $3 each you can upgrade your brass fittings to aluminum as shown in picture. If you need any extra fitting it's $3 for brass and $5 for aluminum. I also offer black anodizing for an additional $4 per piece.
