Opinions on adding a vacuum Manifold

[JoeInOregon]

As I'm replacing vacuum line I find I do not care for how Subaru did this at all.

 

I also have and aftermarket fpr, and fuel damper that both require a vacuum reference.

 

I really just want to run an aftermarket manifold and direct lines to each system.

 

Any reason why this is a bad idea ?

 

Thanks

Well 36 views and nothing but crickets, this tells me at least no one has a strong opinion about it and probably has not been done.

 

Going to give it a shot then

Go for it man. Sounds like a good plan. Post pics.

I’ve run a separate boost/vacuum manifold. Worked perfectly fine. Looked a little janky as I didn’t have a place to mount it but it was a 4” long block of 1/2”x1/2” aluminum, one zip tie and it wasn’t going anywhere.

 

I used a pressure rated manifold from Princess Auto, my biggest issue was finding the right sized npt hose barbs for everything I wanted to run off it (1/4” all the way up to 9/16”). I was only running 8-psi on that turbo but nothing ever blew off and I didn’t need hose clamps or zip ties. This was not on a Legacy, just FYI.

 

This one looks exactly like the one I had (same color even):
