T off the vacuum line at the brake booster.

You can do it off the brake booster.

Or you can just get a good "t" and find the small vacuum line (tiny 1/4" line) that operates the bypass valve. This line will run from the valve, up to your intake manifold. It will be easy to find. It's a small device mounted to one of the discharge tubes in the front nose of the car.

Should look something like one of the following.....

If you have a Vortech one for some reason.
