wd pro, the alloy block will have 4 holes drilled and tapped into it,so the feeds will still be seperate.

Please dont think I am being picky but if the block is fed from one 'small' feed what is the difference ?

probably my poor description lol,the manifold has 4 vacume/boost connections. these will connect to one side of the alloy block using aeroquip pipe and connections,the other side of the alloy block will have hose connections to ,fuel reg/map sensor/boost gauge ect.

no need, they're only for pressure, not for flow

WARNING !!!!

Do NOT feed the map sensor from this.

Even though there is no flow, a failure of any of the pipes connected
causing a flow will make your engine run lean.

My advice is always run the map sensor with its own pipe the same length
as the original directly to the inlet manifold as the length affects ecu
response time and drivability.
Same goes for the fuel pressure regulator. !

slightly puzzled by your reply? it would be hard to get a better connection than aeroquip,the difference in pipe length would only be 30 mm at most.

lloyd,

That exra length will be fine.

Nothing is guaranteed secure.

For example, if you run the boost guage off it you (wont use aeroquip for that anyway)
The pipe is disconnected for what ever reason, you now have an air flow.
This will fool the map sensor as you now have in effect a bleed valve on it !
