I dont have any pics, but:
there are two coolant lines that run to a nipple on each side of the throttle body..
-take the hose off the nipple that is closet to the back of the motor (not the nipple closet to the firewall) take that hose and use it for your coolant feed (make sure to block off the nipple you pulled the hose from)
-that hose isn't goint to be long enough, so you will need to get the same size hose but longer, you can take the stock water feed hard line and cut the banjp bolt part off and slide the rubber hose that you removed from the throttle body and slide it on to the stock hardline. then all you have to do it get a small hose clamp and clamp it down

look at this pic on the left side, do you see the two curved nipples pointing down w/ the black hoses on coming off of each end of the throttle body, you need the one on the left side (which is the one closest to the block), you pull the hose off the nipple and connect it to the water hardline on the turbo, but make sure u block off the nipple....
fyi, that hose is coming off of the coolant bar that wraps around the block

ok cool i see what your saying. so i connect the hose to that left nipple and run it to the turbo and block of the nipple where it used to go which should be somewhere below correct?

yes, the nipple is long, so as soon as you pull the hose off, the end will be there

i'm not sure exactly which side is inlet or not, but that does not matter, if you follow what I said you will be 1,000% fine.
