¿Tree?
Just get the fittings you need and screw them in there, there's plenty of holes in one of those for every kind of vacuum thing imaginable. You're not going to be able to find just the absolute exact right combination of ports for your car all in one package, because cars are all so different.
That's why we call an aftermarket intake a "mod": you're modifying the car. It requires a certain amount of adapting the "universal" thing to your specific application.

Well the one for your brakes is nothing but a 3/8" hose nipple, and maybe a right angle ¼" pipe adapter... hardware store or parts store would have them...
In all my days I never have thought of that as a "tree", but I guess I learn something every day.
