The blow off valve vacuum line simply runs to the throttle body or manifold (post throttle plate) so that it sees boost or vacuum just as the manifold does. So when you let off the throttle, there is a large amount of vacuum pulling through the vacuum hose and there is a large amount of boost pushing on the other side of the valve, making it open.
