Use the brake booster line or any line that leads directly into the intake mani.

Bov line isn't really a good line to use though. You want to use a line that has a lot of vacume going into the intake mani.

the size of the line dosent matter, you just need to watch out how much fluid you suck up at once. To much and you can stall the car. I put 3/4 fluid into the gas tank and im going to put the rest in the brake booster tomorrow and see how my performance is.

I ran just a little under a full bottle into my gas about 2-3 days ago when I saw this thread, and seen everyone talking positive about it...I forgot that I used it lol, until I was Driving to work today I was thinking to myself " she's runnin real smooth lately " then I remembered the Sea Foam! It defiantly did its job. If your doing fluid maintenance , might as well spend $9 and run it through your car. I'm going to use it every oil change now!!!

Did it to my specv, friends integra and nx. Worked great but I'm a little nervous to do it to the Evo. Why should I be nervous?

I've heard you need to do an oil change fairly soon after using this in the intake. Apparently it thins out the oil a bit and could lead to trouble. I have no data to back this up, but it makes sense to me. I used it in the intake and gas tank. After that tank was used up I did my oil change. I just planned it out 250 miles before my oil change.

Unless there are pills or something in the BOV line I'm not aware of, any line to the intake manifold is the same amount of vacuum. The size of the line will just determine how fast you suck it in. I can say from experience the BOV line sucks nice and hard

Larger lines can actually be harder to use because it's harder to keep the car running with them disconnected since they are larger vacuum leaks. It'll work fine though, you might just have to blip the throttle cable to keep it going.
