3800 Engine Vacuum question

[98 TGP TOY]

Hey guys, I just had a quick question. Would there be any problems if you run a bunch of vacuum lines from the same port? IE.....run the vacuum lines for MAP, Purge, boost gauge, FPR, and one other off of the TB port. Thanx guys.

No Opinions?

I would assume that you would have all sorts of problems.
I though there was different pressure drops at each vacuuum point. Thus allowing different readings..

Well, I have ran the FPR from both the manifold vacuum port and the TB vacuum port, without problem. Thinking about it, I dont see a reason why the two different ports would have different readings. They would both be feeling the same air sucking. Im just curious if running to much vacuum lines off the same port will over crowd it, and mess with the vacuum numbers, which would start causing problems.

I dont think you should have a problem but you can check it with a guage.

Yeah I was going to say try it and run a guage to check the vacuum loss across all the lines.
