LS6 intake and PCV

I have LS6 intake on my swap in a Range Rover.
There are various port on the TB and intake.
The front throttle body fittings I have blocked off.
On the rear, there are 2, a sall hose and a larger one for a brake booster.
The Rover uses an electric pump for brakes, so dont need that.
Can I run the PCV valve on the driver side valve cover to the brake booster fitting, or does it need to be routed to the throttle body fitting?
Would like to run it to the booster fitting, as it would look neater, but dont want to screw it up, seeing as that is under vacuum etc.
Thoughts?

Looking at the truck intake vacuum diagram, looks like that was vented to the top of the intake manifold from the factory.
Using truck valve covers with the LS6 intake, so I guess it's fine going to the brake booster vacuum connection.

It will work in the booster port.

I have always read plumbing the PCV to the brake booster means it will be drawing unmetered air and may affect idle quality

But I run a carb so don't take my word for it.
