I'd like to see answers on this myself. Because of where the turbos sit in an Incon style situation, I would be tempted to say T off the heater core in and out, but I don't know if that is the best solution.

The way that APS does it is there are some coolant passages with plugs in them. They basically have you tap into them there.

Are they hitting the intake manifold, block, or what?

One is the huge plug on the driver side block. The other is in the passenger side head plug.

The Incon TT kit tees into the heater core lines. It's got a weird T-fitting that has 2 hose ends and a 6-AN threaded end on the bottom. The kit I bought didn't come with that particular fitting so I had to get creative and make one It returns thru the water plug type fitting that replaces the plug on the driver's side of the block. Once again, had to get creative with that fitting too

Just put a T in one heater hose and feed the turbos return the water into the other heater hose.

There’s really no need to return it into the block.

The heater hose connections on the water pump will do just fine.

If he has the Incon water hoses and block fitting with his kit then it returns to the block anyway. Unless he doesn't have any of the hoses or fittings I don't see why he'd wanna go that route. Seems like not only a waste of money but also a pain in the ***... the regular setup's already fun enough to deal with as it is.

I read that as he's looking for a feed source. I don't know what he has or doesn't have, that's why I said IF he has all the fittings and lines.

That always seemed like the easiest way. Running the passenger side lines would be straightforward. Then I guess you take the driver side feed behind the motor over the trans and run the return right next to it back to the core line?

I guess that's one of those things that seems like it would need a more complicated solution than it actually requires.
