Default Hooking a vacuum source up to an ATI race valve

I was told and from what i've read the preferred place to get a vacuum source is the tee over by the pcm. I bought my FMIC setup used and had the race valve welded in. The spot to hook up the line on it is pretty big. What size of line does everyone else run and what do I need to hook it into that tee? Routing these vacuum lines is pretty much all I have left. Pics are always good if anyone has any. Thanks

Any decent source between the TB and intake valve will work fine. Decent size, say 1/4 will work. Dont go too small.

Yeah over by the PCM or on the back of the intake is fine.

well my question is the spot to insert a vacuum line is pretty big. Ill check the size when I get home. The T over by the pcm is a pretty small line and I was wondering more on what is everyone using to downsize and what kind of connectors are you using to connect them. Can you change the connector on the valve itself to a smaller line? What size come in them for ATI? Like I said I bought it used and someone may have changed it.

The person before me must have changed it out for a big line. I called procharger and he said to just get a 1/8 npt thread with a 1/8 barbed fitting on the other end and thread that into the valve. That solved my problem. Thanks for the help
