I don't have enough vacuum ports/ sources

With recent additions of:

Boost gauge
MSD BTM box
Procharger bypass valve
FMU

I am having to tee from the stock barbs. I'm told the bypass valve and FMU really need their own dedicated sources and I just don't have them available.

What do people do?

I would think drilling/tapping would be very easy. Just have to find a good spot on the plenum. I was planning on doing that myself, right on the underside, just above the EGR, which I have deleted.

There are two tooling holes underneath the plenum that can be tapped 1/8-NPT "as-is".

You will need to drill a smaller hole at the bottom of the tooling hole into the plenum.
