I couldn`t find any images so far but maybe this thread helps ...read it all as one poster had heater path reversed

easiest way to describe it is waterpump pushes coolant thru the block and flows up to heads/intake and out past thermostat.... heater hose off intake flows to core and other hose flows back to *suction* side of waterpump (lower rad hose)

thanks B...its correct plumbing of the turbos

the old Incon system diagram shows the correct plumbing...but I may delete the heater

& run the circuit thru in/out on the water pump...just need to know where the coolant travels

feed the turbos from the block on either side if theres ports available and then tie the lines out from turbos back together at waterpump that's how I have my *half a motor* plumbed
