wastegate imho should go on a pressurized pipe(charge pipe) be it before or after the IC. as for the vac block do you need that many? I have a boost gauge teed into my brake booster line, fpr off manifold port and bov tee'd from the fpr line. if your using more and vac lines or fell it would give you a "cleaner look" go for it, they dont cost too much... but vac is vac lol, however I think you would receive stronger signals, and faster response with the block, thats the biggest line....

if you want to make your own then just get a block of aluminum and drill and tap your own holes. or buy it for like $25 from jgs
