Thumbs up Got it! - trying to prime oil pump - where's the breather hose???

As the title says, I'm trying to prime the oil pump. I have the DME relay pulled and have been cranking for better than 5 minutes (~1 minute intervals) and no show of oil pressure. I'm going to apply ~10 psi to the dipstick tube while cranking, but need to know where the breather hose is to pinch off ...

Anybody?

Never mind - took off the snorkle to the air filer and pinched off the large hose going to the intercooler pipe between the intercooler and throttle body. Had the wife crank while I applied a little pressure to the dipstick tube and within 5 seconds had pressure. Great trick!!!
