I am running a front mount intercooler with my Vortech supercharger. Does it matter at all if you run non-essential (aftermarket) vacuum driven accessories from a barb on the boost pipe. Examples being boost gauge, hobbs switch, and boost recirculation valve. Does it matter that it isn't run straight to the vacume ports on the manifold. I understand some things really do matter but I'm trying to clean up the big mess of vacume lines and T connectors cluttering up my engine bay.

Thanks,
Brandon

 

My charge pipe will not show vacuum. I had the boost-vacuum gauge there and it did not show vacuum at all. Moved it to the manifold and now it shows vacuum as well as boost.
My Hobbs switch is in the charge pipe, b/c it only activates under positive boost.

 

theres only vacuum on the manifold side of the TB you need to have a restriction for there to be vacuum and the TB blade is the restriction also i have had problems Ting off the ports on the manifold to don't run to much off one port. boost should be ok on the charge pipe.
