Hello,
Made a new design for my vacuum hubs I had been making, mainly based off suggestions from other people I have talked with.

Here is the webpage for them: http://www.jattus.com/Performance/vacuum.htm

Anyways, Individually hand made out of 6061 Aluminum, and TIG welded. Has six usable 1/8 NPT ( Pipe Thread ) ports, plus one port that is used for the source (so 7 threaded ports total). You can use it for any vacuum source such as Blow Off Valve, Fuel Pressure Regulator/FMU, MAP Sensor, Boost Gauge, Electronic Boost Controller, Pressure Sensitive Switch, etc. Much cleaner of a setup and more reliable than "T"ing off lines.

I also have powdercoated fittings available, here are some pics:

Had to sell them for a little more than my previous ones as they take a LOT longer to make, and cost more to make as well, but are really nice looking compared to competitors vacuum hubs.

Also, I was originally worried that the powdercoated fittings wouldn't be able to take the abuse of wrenching them down to the hub, taking them off, etc. But I have installed, removed, installed, etc. the same powdercoated fittings into different hubs and the surface is still perfect, not even marred or anything, so the coating holds up very well!

But yeah let me know what you guys think!

Yeah mine are higher priced, there are still a lot more that cost more than mine as well. I believe mine to be better made as it has mounting tabs, plus golden eagle doesn't have powdercoated fittings either :biggrin:

I am mostly trying to make a product that isn't competative with price, but competative with quality. If you want a budget vacuum hub then there are other probably better options for you. If you want something nice then you can go with mine for sure.

Fittings are a dime a dozen. Unless you are building a show car who cares what color the fittings are. Still it's not a bad hub but as sirtef9 said price is going to make a difference on how many sell.
