I used the hose going from the PCV valve to the intake. It's right behind the TB. Works good and easy to get to.

IMO the brake booster hose is the best place.

i put a can in my tank, one in my oil and ran it through the booster line. I think I'm good for a bit. just if you do the oil, drive it for about 10mins then change your oil along with your plugs after you ran it through the vacumn line.

Dump a can in the gas tank and feed another can through the brake booster line. That will clean everything out nicely

Me and my friend seafoamed our cars about a month or two ago. He's got a 92 325i 160k and I have a 02 3.8L Camaro 70k. We had two cans, one for each car. threw and 1/3 of in the gas tank, 1/3 of it in the crankcase, 1/3 of it in the brake booster. To tell you the truth, mine didn't smoke much at all, a puff came out and that was the end of it. I didn't notice any performance difference. His car however was a damn smog machine. That thing smoked for like 10 minutes. The more he revved the more smoke would shoot out the back. He did notice a improvement with idling.

Its really not necessary unless you would like to clean out your crankcase before changing the oil.

Otherwise just run Mobil 1 by itself, thats the best

brake booster, gas tank, crank case, is their an advantage to doing it one way over the other.

I use a can in my gas tank and about 2/3 of a can through brake booster line and the remaining 1/3 in crankcase

Side question:
I did all this on my truck but when I went to do it on the bird the car would not start with the brake booster line off (lost pressure). When I did this on my truck I had it running and sucking the seafoam in. Can I just pour it down the brake booster line with the car off?

No!! You must have the motor running so you dont hydrolock.
