Vacuum Distribution Block

Vacuum Distribution Block
I figured I would get rid of a few of my vacuum lines that run my boost gauge, MAP, BOV, etc etc..
I bought a vacuum distribution block that will become a central distribution point.
My question is, can I just plumb the brake booster line in to it as the source instead of drilling a hole in my intake and tapping it for a nipple?
Anybody?

Hey...Cut it out!

I did something similar on Project OldTree using an air compressor manifold from McMaster-Carr. Basically, it's just a chunk of aluminum with 10 1/4" NPT ports and a 3/8" NPT port on either end.
It is fed from the 20B-REW's front turbo inlet (Constant Vacuum) through one of the 3/8" NPT ports while each of the occupied ports has a hose barb to supply vacuum to the intended devices. The manifold is tucked in the corner behind the passenger side headlight, next to the vacuum chamber for the twin turbos.
Pic of it:
I did plumb in the Brake Booster here and it works quite well based on my limited seat time. Granted, my turbos are not plumbed in yet, so I cannot comment on how it affects them, but I have not noticed any braking issues due to lack of vacuum assist so far.
