Where the boosters line enters the plenum is on the far right side (rear of engine (at least on my VQ35DE )). Can you get a reasonably even distribution across all cylinders from there? Wouldn't it be better to use the canister purge valve entrance which is on center just behind the throttle body? (again, at least on my VQ35DE). Would appreciate any opinions.
The old method is semi obsolete with the new Sea Foam Spray. You just use the hose that comes with the can. It has a hook on the end that goes over the throttle body. Similar to a WD40 tube, but with a hook to facilitate use while having everything connected as it should be while running.

Just remove the intake pipe from the throttle body, hook the tube onto the throttle body itself and then reconnect the air intake pipe. Start, spray, wait, start and enjoy the smoke.
