The Sierra manifold only has provision for 2x vacuum barbs. One I have dedicated to the brake booster, the other will feed the vacuum manifold which will then split off to wastegate, bov, fuel reg, MAP sensor etc

The vacuum manifold mounted to the sierra inlet. Handy bolt holes right there.

Wow over two years since my last update. I have been really busy having lots of fun in this car 😄 It was first tuned with a GT2860RS (disco potato), E85 and 20psi which gave 301whp and 12.4 @113mph. A GTX2860R Gen2 supercore was fitted along with a haltech external 3bar MAP sensor, a second Bosch 044 pump and custom intercooler pipes to make 355whp 26psi. Shortly after, the worn W58 gave up at a Lakeside cruise event 😂 It was rebuilt and has been great since then. Three weeks ago I ran an 11.9 @ 119mph. Super happy with this car now. I should probably give it a coat of paint one day lol. Cheers

Mate that's put a big dumb gin on my face. Really impressive figures and breaking into the 11's is quite a milestone. Kudo's to you.

she's sold?
Congrats if thats the case, now we can start sharing links for your next project before the money goes into something sensible like mortgage/reno's etc....
I think prices are actually starting to come down ?, some cars that have been around awhile are being repriced to more reasonable figures.
Antics are good anyhow!

Yes. I wouldn't mind getting stuck into something new but lacking motivation and funds. The car was great fun but I was taking more risks every time I drove it and though nup, time to move it on. A prime example here  https://www.instagram.com/p/CdnG5w1pEGD/

... '"älmost losing it"
Looked totally in control to me, but fair enough.
Give it a month or 2, and the motivation will come back. :)
