Quick question about Brake Booster Vaccum...

Guys,

Can I use the stock IAT threaded hole to get vacuum to the Brake Booster ??

I mean use the right NPT / Barb fitting to plug the Brake Booster vacuum hose ??

I have a Fast Reacting IAT located at the intake elbow, so the stock sensor is still in its location only as a plug.

Is it big enough ?? Is the location Ok to get vaccum for the BB ??

Only purpose for this is to clean the firewall....

Thanks a lot..!!!

I see no issue. It's virtually the same diameter as the other port. Very innovative.

Honestly all the brake boost line does is draw vacuum for the manifold. As long as you still have it plumbed to the manifold post throttle body I don't think you should have an issue. Seems like an easy way to tuck that large vacuum line
