I assume any line connected to the uim although I haven't done this myself it seems like a good place to do it.

you can really use any line that can fit in it. I once made the mistake of using the brake booster line which was a snug fit. Needless to say the can crushed it self.

made for easy disposal XD. Anywho you can also put it in your fuel, wait till you get low on gas, add a can or two then drive it round a bit. If you want to have some fun use the seafoam in a big parking deck like i did and watch the faces of the kids trying to complete a film assignment for class.

sea foam works very well. You want to find the right vac line(s), ideally a small one that is on the intake manifold past the throttle body. You want to find the right one based on model some models like my S5 turbo (and S4 turbos) have one nipple that feeds both rotors fairly evenly. Others have one nipple for each rotor so you have to make a vac tee with a single feed from the bottle to each nipple in equal lengths.

I belive S5 non-turbos have two nipples, not sure about S4 N/As.

Make sure you have a buddy to hold the car at 3500-4000 rpms or it will choke and die...
