Default Need help with a BOV and water cooler lines on my turbo!!

Hey everyone, I have a Garrett t3/t28 turbo. It has 3 lines comming out of the top of it. One is for the oil feed I got that one. The other two I don't know what they are. I believe that they are the lines for the water cooler. I am not sure. The lines that hook up to them are thick and have metal t's on the end of them. Also I need help with my BOV install. I don't know where I hook the lines up to on it. If someone could help me please. If it helps I have a B18b and the turbo kit is the turbo specalties kit.

Correct the other two lines are you water coolant lines which can be connected to either side of your heater matrix (the in & out pipes) and for your B.O.V. you can tee it off to a vac source near your intake manifold or do what i did, buy a vac manifold which ia a reliable vac source for all the vac lines you need i.e. fuel pressure regulator, bov, boost controller, boost gauge etc. Check this link for vac manifold.

i think on the coolant lines on the turbo it doesnt matter which is used as ina nd which is used as out. ITs not like the oil feed/return line. At least what i was told for my IHI turbo. Can anyone confirm that coolant turbo lines can either be in or out?

Also I forgot to add this, I heard that you are supposed to hook it up to the heater matrix, but won't the coolant only flow when the heater is on????
