That thing is ridiculously loud. It does sound like the portable compressor I use for my nail guns.

There has got to be one that is quieter?

It looks like the unit that is sold by Comp Cams.

Thanks for posting that. Looks like a Dartmouth Engineering undergraduate student?

Yes they are noisy

I am just thinking that technically (if you dont have a/c) you can use your a/c compressor as a vacuum pump. It should be possible. I know of people who use them as AIR compressor for air-suspension. So I don't see why it should not be used as a vacuum pump. You will of course have to make sure that some oil remains in the compressor but that should not be a problem. You can use a vacuum switch to control your clutch-relay

and if you use a 1 gallon reservoir as you suggested it will not engage very often.

just a thought!
