So, the additional tee adapter lets you reference the brake booster line for the bypass valve instead of the original location. It provides a steadier application of vacuum, is more unlikely to be contaminated with oil mist, and keeps boost from reaching the bypass valve diaphragm. The moment you let off the throttle, the bypass valve will open, which is also likely the time you'll be operating the brakes. The high cost for the tee is just because I haven't found a decent price for the brass version and I only use brass adapters. If you'd like to install it and move it later, its as easy as buying the part on amazon.
