I recall someone stating, "it's a piece of piss to make one. You just take a block of this, drill that into it, and you have thus"

Or, you could go to an aquarium supplies and buy an Air-line Manifold . . . .
about $15 and does the same job .. with the advantage that you can switch off any ports at any time .... nice screw valves ....
But if you want something shiny .. go ahead

If you want shiny, about 25 years ago I had an Aquarium shop and there was a chrome plated brass one available then, so they may still be available now.

I just got a air compressor manifold and threaded the appropriate tails into it. It just sits in the line to the booster and for bling factor is anodised blue

HDi make exactly what you are after - a nice alum one with up to 6 fittings AND writing
- can get on ebay for around $35 delivered from distrutor last time I checked. Haven't seen one in person but was considering one for my last turbo car.
