Brake Booster location?

Sorry for the noob question, but where is the brake booster hose? I am Sea Foaming today and I am very unfamiliar with the brake booster. Everyone seems to do it with the oil, gas, and brake booster. I know it's somewhere around here in the pic.

I figured it out on my own lol, but thanks! that confirms I did it right. and WOW a lot of smog and a huge increase in proformance.

To anyone else having trouble with the brake booster part: it is that big black hose behind it that is about 1" in diameter. It may be hard to get it off the metal nozzle, you gotta give it a bit of effort in pulling and it will come clean off.

I say that because it's idling a lot smoother. But yeah there is probably some Placebo Effect going on lol.
