steve spedd Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Really annoying but i cant find the fittings that you would tap into the manifold for boost etc. I have see the Vacuum Block from the states (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Vacuum-Manifold-Block-Universal-Six-Port-Boost-FPR-BOV-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem2c59c94e63QQitemZ190484926051QQptZRaceQ5fCarQ5fParts) BUT where can you buy the connectors or unions or whatever they are called (pic attached) many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve spedd Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 seen both of them thanks Wez, but the smallest they go is 6mm. Don't i need 3mm for vac pipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 seen both of them thanks Wez, but the smallest they go is 6mm. Don't i need 3mm for vac pipe? Might be worth calling them to see if they can get smaller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonB Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 For the FPR and MAP you can use the stock plastic filter/damper thingy - that has 1/8NPT thread IIRC. The others you can just use 6mm or step down with a hose joiner if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 No not the extension mate the actual box I bought. When Stevo opened up to extend it we found Id got basically a 700 quid rebuild job, so Im going through trying to get some money back from the guy I got it off and get another box.
