Just after some suggestions for the best way to connect up the following 4 things to a vacuum source:

1)Wastegate actuator
2)Blow Off Valve
3)Boost Gauge
4)Microtech ECU MAP sensor

Now I know where the factory vacuum connection is on the inlet manifold for the Wastegate actuator and I have a turbosmart silicone hose and T-piece setup to run both the actuator and the BOV off that......but can I run all 4 things of the 1 vacuum source?

What have others done. I know there is another vacuum connection at the rear of the inlet manifold, which is used by the Fuel Pressure Regulator...but I have read that it is best not to share this one.

They say it's good to not run things off the fuel reg, but apparently blitz instructions recommend it for their boost gauges. Make sure the lines are very secure.

My boost gauge and blitz sbc it off the reg vac line, and the bov and ebc solinoid is off the factory turbo line from behind the throttle body, you can come look at mine if you want, ran fine on the dyno when it was setup

Yeah probably about time I dropped around again . I might go the same way as your setup, as the FPR vacuum line is in a very convenient location to hookup the MAP Sensor and Boost Gauge. Just wanted to confirm that others had done this successfully.
