Vacuum Line for Seafoam/Water Injection

I have a S5 NA RX7 and I'm thinking of running either water or seafoam through the intake to clean away any carbon in the engine. However, after searching the forums I couldn't find anyone specifying exactly which vacuum line to use on the S5. So which is it?

Any vacuum line will work. There should be a good sized one coming off of the brake booster.

I'd pick one that is Upstream.
I mean that will actually share airflow to both rotors.
(I haven't done it,But I would pick the biggest one,besides the booster)

You mean like the one right on top of the engine for the AWS.

If you use this one, go for a drive and be sure the secondaries and the VDI system gets cleared out, because some of the water/seafoam gets trapped in those areas.
