Vacuum line location

Hi

Does anyone know where the Vacuum line that comes straight from engine is located. I have installed a Valvetronic exhaust and was looking all over for the vacuum source coming from engine but could not find it, i ended up connecting it to brake booster line. Anything wrong with that?

You will need to remove the plenum, it's right underneath. You can T off that line, at least that's how we supply vacuum to the bypass valve on superchargers.

Pretty sure that's what you're supposed to do. I don't believe plenum removal is necessary. It's near the driver side cowl
