Default Homemadeturbo inspired project

Well i got bored, and had an idea pop into my head. I was looking at the golden eagle vacuume manifold, and said "i bet i could make something like that" and from there i was hell bent on doing just that. after about 17 bucks and about 3 hours collective labor, here is the result. Its not gonna win any beauty pagents, and im not even sure its gonna work but god damn it feels good to have an idea and then build it Comments, flames, welcome

looks nice.
a copper manifold whould have been a whole lot easier. collective labor whould be only 5 minutes and maybe cost only 5 to 10 bucks.
all you need is either a 1"x1/2" or 3/4"x1/2'' manifold. poly or pex fittings whould sweat right in

You can buy vacum manifolds at industrial places for cheap.They are $5 at my local Princess Auto in Canada and come in anodized blu or silver.None the less good job its always cooler when you built it yourself.
