What vacuum line for sea foam 5vz-fe?

Planning on adding seafoam to my crank, fuel and intake tomorrow but I can't get a positive on the vacuum line to feed the intake. Anyone done seafoam on the 5vz-fe intake before? Can I add it to the PCV line?(post valve). looking for anyone with exp here. Thanks.

NO, the brake boost line on the 5vz only feeds 1 cylinder. You want a line that feeds all the cylinders.

Pretty much any line at or near the throttle body that provides vacuum will work.

Yeah, it was sorta supposed to be a joke, since he didn't really search around for the answer that's everywhere. I guess that wasn't clear from my abrupt posting.

When it comes to Seafoam, I thought everybody knew the PCV was the place to be.

I did search for the proper line but the threads i found are full of guys trying to be cute so there's quite a bit of info to sort through. Perhaps I should have posted it in newbie tech where people are a bit more tolerant of "obvious" questions.
Thanks for the actual help Ace.

Yeah, I think in those threads, there's just been a lot of discussion about it, rather than cuteness. The overwhelming majority will tell you to use the PCV line. One of the first threads that comes up when searching for "Seafoam" is a thread about how the brake booster line only feeds 1 or 2 cylinders and to use the PCV line or something at the TB. People are usually pretty tolerant, but this is one that has been covered ad nauseum.

Anyway, have fun Seafoamin. I always enjoy the trip up and down the street afterwards. I just try to get out of the neighborhood as quickly as possible before someone calls the fire dept.
