Default Heater VSV not getting enough vacuum

Does anyone have a picture of where the vacuum tube from the heater VSV goes. (SC300 92'). I disconnected the tube and connected it to one of the throttle body vac sources and the valve worked like a champ. So...the vacuum bracket that I have it currently connected to is either wrong or not strong enough.

The vacuum diagram on the hood doesn't show anything related to the heater valve.

Default Thanks Gunnar

I appreciate the quick picture. That helps me. Looks like you deleted the EGR in that picture or the EGR vacuum perch is gone. Anyway, I'm doing about 8 different things to my car right now and I'm just trying to get the little stuff working. I'll run it off that T from the vac tank.

Yeah, EGR is gone. When I initially did the EGR and charcoal canister my heater wasn't working and I didn't know why, until a friend pointed out the VSV with no line on it. So I put in a T and ran one over, and it's worked wonderfully since.
