EVO III Water Lines

Forgot to take note of what went where. On the EVO3 16g which line is feed and which one is return or does it even matter?

Taken from one of Tom's posts on the topic:

STOCK water locations:

nipple/boss off of the water pipe - stock water return for turbo (front of CHRA, facing radiator)

banjo bolt from block - stock water feed line for turbo (back of CHRA, facing block)

thermostat housing nipple - water line to oil filter housing (independent of turbo)

when you take the lines off of the t-25 or what have you, there is only one location on the vo3 where you can put each of the water lines...and when you put the turbo in you can tell for sure what goes where in order for the rubber hoses to mate up and so forth. you can also look up the evo3 or big 16g install how to and it shows pix in there.

Basically when the turbo is mounted, the highest water hard line is for water feed, the lowest is for water return. Same rubber hose routing as on the t-25.
