When I did mine any time I would try to disconnect the booster line the engine would die instantly. I had to use a pair of vise grips (with some cardboard to protect the rubber hose) to hold it almost completely shut so the engine wouldn't stall, the small opening was still enough to feed the Seafoam in. Hope this helps.

it does help when i read the sticky it said the ideal should be at like 2000 or 3000 so thats why i got worryed about it. and just to make sure you are supose to use half of a sea foam bottle or just quater of it?

I have the car off, and pull off the booster, hold the cup of seafoam underneath, turn on the engine, it sucks it all up and kills it. Replace the booster, wait 5 mins.. start it up (might need a lil gassing) and enjoy the smoke

yeah, typically a huge vacuum leak will make the car die. just put ur finger over the hose while its disconnected from the booster and pull ur finger away to suck in the seafoam.
