you could remove your inlet and then drill and tap for a vacum take off, what car is it for?

its for a fiesta st turbo. i have just got a new inlet alloy inlet from the states which
only has 1 small take off apart from the brake boost pipe.
i dont think the wall is thick enough to tap.

You'd need to fit it in the line before the non return valve, otherwise it will always give the servo vacuum rather than the changing vacuum in the manifold.
