Hope you're all having a fine Saturday afternoon/evening. I was stuck at work all day, just about to head out.
At any rate, I was doing some reading and I'm thinking about replacing my current stock vacuum hoses with silicone hoses. I've also been doing some poking around on here and found that a vacuum manifold may not be a bad thing to do either.
Now then, based on my searching I found that you can buy a regular old manifold from mcmaster.com and use it as you would one from MAM or ProtegeGarage, etc. The one post I found stated that you could use these:
Later in the same thread, someone said this:
So, which is it? Anyone know? I'm led to believe that the inlet is from the source. I was planning on tapping the brake booster line with a T before the check valve. So my assumption would be that the size of the inlet should be the size of that hose. Anyone know what size it is off the top of their head?
Seems to me from looking at what I quoted above, the second manifold goes with the barbs in #3 and the first manifold goes with the barbs in #2 since the outlet from the manifold matches the pipe size.
I'm thinking that I need the second manifold with the 1/8" outlets to match with the 3/16" ID barbs for the wastegate lines. Is that correct?
I also found in another post that a majority of the vacuum lines on the intake manifold are 3.5mm (5/32"). Can I upgrade those to 4mm (3/16") lines or should they stay 5/32"? I can't seem to find one way or another which is the way to go after searching.
Also in the same post I found that the PCV and crankcase ventilation should be 1/4" hose. Is it safe to assume I can run these from the same manifold, or will they not even be routed this way?
I think that's it for now. Thanks in advance.

1) Aluminum Manifold with 3 ports (black) (part # 5469K113) is $13.63
Aluminum Distribution Manifold 3 Outlets, 3/8" NPT Inlet X 1/4" NPT Outlet
2) 1 pack of 5346K18 is $8.41 (10 barbs is included)
Brass Hose Fitting Barb X Male Pipe for 3/8" Hose ID, 1/4" Pipe
3) 1 Pack of 5346K11 is $7.06 (10 Barbs is included)
Brass Hose Fitting Barb X Male Pipe for 3/16" Hose ID, 1/8" Pipe

FYI with those barbs you need this manifold instead:
5469K111
$11.98
Aluminum Distribution Manifold 3 Outlets, 1/4" NPT Inlet X 1/8" NPT Outlet
