Primary injector air bleed vac line location?

Hello. I have an RE but I think it's basically going to be the same setup as the REW in this case. Anyways, I THINK the primary bleeds work when you have the car at idle or a high vac situation where it pulls the air in from a place before the throttle body. I was looking at my throttle body and trying to figure out what port to use, but realized that all of them are behind the throttle body.

What would you guys recommend to do in this situation? Use the atpturbo nipple thing or have a welder put a nipple in my intake or just get one of those tiny little filters and a combination of reducers until it plugs into the primary bleed hose?

(PS. I am using a haltech e11v2 so I don't need to worry about vac leaks and the whole metered air thing. )

Thanks

Actually, it looks like I am just going to go the crankcase breather filter route. Seems cheap and such.

Ok, I thought I had it figured out, but I don't think I do. Could someone explain to me how the primary injector bleeds work? Does it in fact get its source air from before the throttle body? I'm sitting here staring at my RE manifold and I see no nipples that go in front of the TB. (but then again I don't have any nipples on the front face (of the engine bay) of the TB)
:/

Gets positive air pressure from the turbo. Helps atomize the fuel. If you recall on a stock FD there are two nipples coming off the y-pipe...one is for the primary injector rail and the other the pressure tank.

IIRC, the LIM has a nipple that feeds the air to FD primary rail...not sure if it's the same on the RE LIM... when I went with my Xcessive LIM, that port was not there so no air to my primaries and no problems.
