Default Hook everything up the same vac line?

Is it a good idea to hook everything up like your boost gauge, bov, fmu to the same vaccume line? I heard you should use a seperate one for each but it would be sooo much easier to hook them all or most of them to the same line with T's.

I just don't want inaccurate readings is all....

You can do them in all the same. I just dont like the idea, and didnt work well for me. So mine are scattered.

What problems did you have while it was hooked up that way? Did you make any extra holes in the intake for it...I think I only have one or two. One for the MAP sensor for sure....

It caused my vac to be low on the fpr. When I had no leaks. I just put a few barbs onto my charge pipes for pressurized souces. And I'm gonna run the BOV off of my brake booster. I would definatly tap the intake manifold if you can. I didnt because im getting a new one soon. Just remember to take the manifold off when you tap it. And clean it good. ;X
