Okay, I got the turbo on the car, everything is bolted up, I had to drill the holes on the oil return line out a little bigger because it wouldn't bolt up correctly and now I am feeling a little stupid. I am using a stock 1g j-pipe and I don't know what connects to the nipple that is on there, I am assuming it is the t'd vacuum line comming off of the bcs, also, I am caught up on the water lines. If you are looking down on th engine bay, there is a water line right up front and one directly behind it, does the one behind(under the manifold) go to the top water line off the engine or the bottome one? I think it goes to the bottom one but I am unsure, then the one that is closest to the front of the car would go to the top line. I hope you guys understand this and can help me out, that is all I have to do right now and then I am done with the install and I can run my baby. One more thing, someone told me that before I put more coolent on the engine that I need to fill it all up with water and run it for about 10 minutes then drain it and do a 50/50 of water and coolent? If this is true can i fill it with water, drive to pepboys, get coolent, then do it there? or should I just let it idle for 10 minutes? Sorry for all the questions guys. Thanks for all your help in advance!

first, that nipple on the pipe is just a pressure source...so if you have a mbc, then you dont need it.

the water line that's on the front of the turbo connects to line on the block that's pointing straight down. there is a pic. in my gallery (haha the only pic) that shows it.

you might want to get altleast a little bit of coolant in the mix before you drive it around for a long period of time...so if you have some lying around just dump it in, top it off with water and then go get some more and flush/refill with 50/50 mix.
 
I believe my water lines are reversed. The reason being is because if I were to connect them correctly, they would've blocked my intake pipe. As far as the nipple, it is for the BCS. I have all hardpiping from SBR and they put the fitting all the way by the sidemount inlet, I just capped it off since I'm running a MBC.
