no more vacuum leaks for me....
The car is a FC with a FD UIM. UIM is tapped with 3/8 npt which will run upto the vacuum manifold on 1/2" line. All other connectors will be the instant fittings (these are a hell of a lot cheaper than braided stainless line and -an connectors) with a plastic hose. I found a good deal on them from: http://www.stc9.com/Stainless_Steel_Fitting.htm
I have 7 1/8" npt fittings and 3 3/8" npt ports on the manifold. I am planning on running 1/4" hose to everything that needs vacuum signal and 1/2" to the brake booster.
pictures:
The black square is covering the ugliest plug weld known to man (i am to embarrassed to display that to the public). That is also where the uim is tapped.

Are these fittings the correct size?
Tial wastegate is M10x1.0
Greddy BOV is 1/8"npt
2x M10x1 -> 1/8npt adapter $8.95 each from summit
4x 1/8"npt -> instant hose fitting 90 degree $3.04/per
6x 1/8"npt -> instant hose fitting straight $1.39/per
1x 1/4"hose barb -> 1/8" npt fitting $3.99 from summit
2x 3/16" hose barb ->1/8" npt $3.99 from summit
2x 3/8npt->1/2" hose 90 degree $5.02/per
1x 1/2" elbow union $4.49/per
1x 3/8npt - 3/8" hose barb $3.39 from summit
40' of part #5156K87 1/4" polyethylene tube from mcmaster $0.22/ft
max operating temp 175F
1' of 5156K89 - 1/2" polyethelyne tube from mcmaster $0.76/ft
Total for fittings=$77.85
I will probably order a few extra straight and 90 degree fittings just in case i cant get something to fit how i want it.
