S5 Turbo conversion: Brake booster vacuum pipe

The car is an 89 GXL with an S5 Turbo motor. I am trying to figure this out. Does anyone have a picture of where this goes? I don't know which pipe can be replace with the longer turbo pipe, and I am not quite certain which hardline from the brake booster connect to the pipe on the block. The one I think it is, is considerably lower than the hard pipe on the engine. Pics would be great.

it depends, if you have a JDM intake manifold the brake hose fitting is in almost the same spot as the NA.

the US t2 engine has the brake fitting on the rear side of the TB, and the hardline is shorter.

So it is in a different location. That helps, because the hard pipe on the manifold looks too high to attach to the hose coming out of the firewall. Still no picts though?

Take vacuum off the Manifold,behind the throttle body,but make sure you use a Pipe.or hose that will Not collapse.Use a Vaccum nippple that is roughly the same size.
