Default Running water lines for the turbo

I just installed the Inline-Pro oil filter relocaton kit which left me with two open hoses where coolant comes from. one on the block and then a hard line coming across the front of the motor. Would these be ok to use for the water lines for the turbo? If so, does anyone know what fittings i should use to make those fit on to a stainless line? I know on the full-race pics of there install they show the block and the hose to be blocked off. I'm not sure where they ran the water lines. Thanks!

I am going from the turbo to the radiator instead of reusing the line that goes across the front of the engine back to the water pump. I just plug the line off at the pump and remove the hard line.
sense I do not know how to weld and don't know any one that dose I unthreaded the bung on the side of the block cut off the nipple and tap it and the radiator with a 1/4 NPT and use 1/4 NPT to 6 AN fittings
the turbo needs two 14 MM 1.5 pitch to 6 AN fittings and then all I needed were two 6 AN 90 degree and two straight 6 AN fittings and about 6 feet of the braided line. All can be found at Jegs

On my old setup I ran that hard coolant line that goes across the front of the engine back into the block on the exhaust side. I tapped the coolant line that comes from under the throttle body and basically made a loop from that coolant line to the turbo, out of the turbo and back to the head where that line originally connected to. This isn't the best pic, but it give you an idea of the coolant lines that I used. Hope this helps you out...

Check out Reborn56's install thread. There are some pics of the fittings/connections we custom made. Pick up some weld on 6an fittings and run braided lines, i just redid mine as well.

No problem, make sure you get steel weld on fittings, not aluminum. They shouldn't be more then $5 each or so.
