New to all this boosted stuff, and im just finishing up the ECS kit.
The ECS kit includes a T that goes into the booster vacuum hose, with 2 barb fittings. One heads to the BOV, the other heads to the intake manifold.
In addition to the BOV, Im also going to have a boost gauge, and eventually meth. Thus 2 more vacuum ports needed. What are people running for a vacuum block? I searched and oddly i couldn't find any immediate answers.
There are some fancy vacuum blocks available, I'm sure someone will chime in. I have no issues running bypass valve and boost gauge off of the booster though.
I use a vibrant vacuum block. They’re pretty cheap and look nice and neat even though mines in the wheel well. There’s a bunch of different companies that make them.

for the vacuum source, your T-ing off the line from the manifold to the booster, running it to the vacuum block?
I have either a vibrant or a procharger can't remember which mounted under the wiper cowl on the battery side on the firewall. I have the brake booster tee'd to the block then my bov, hobbs, boost gauge and something else run from there.
I installed one recently and was very happy to be able to limit and control the amount of vacuum feeds needed on my setup. I like to keep the engine bay clean while also keeping parts easily accessible for service if needed.
In this case it meant mounting the block behind the driver fender on the support frame. It is securely held with double sided tape and then also a few zip ties just in case.
Vacuum Block?
