usually the air box before your filter, or the air intake snorkel.

which is it? 200 or 225?

i've only got experience with a 200, but mine wouldn't run with the balance line connected. disconnected, all good.

pretty sure it's only really needed if there is a larger than normal pressure difference between the mixer and "normal" (i.e. in a turbo application, or due to a cold air intake/air ram.

The fitment of a balance line is required with a snorkel, it's fitment will also tend to lean the mixture right out so re-tuning is required.
