Both -- mostly through the booster line directly to the engine.
I perform routine maintenance and tune-ups on friend's and family's cars -- they just bring them over to "Rick's Garage". All of them get the Seafoam treatment in the tank and through the booster line.
One success story is on a low-mileage '95 Mercury Mystique 4-cylinder/auto. It's driven 5 miles/day to and from work. It was REALLY gunked up with carbon. The idle-air control valve got loaded-up and the idle speed was abnormally low -- shook the car like crazy. Either the treatment was to fix it, or replace it (difficult spot on the underside of the engine). So far, the Seafoam (and 10 miles of white smoke) did the trick.
One gunk preventer I have on the 'Teg is a PCV catch container. It's basically an air compressor moisture collector, attached inline between the PCV valve and the intake...
