Default Coolant plumbing for TT build

All,

Let me lead by saying I HAVE searched and just haven't found any conclusive answers to what I need. As you can see by my stats, I do a LOT more reading than posting. I'm running fender mounted turbos (water-cooled) on an LS1 Vette. Where are you plumbing your water from/to? I know APS routes from the drivers block coolant plug (interconnects the turbos) then to the pass head coolant plug. Others are using heater hose split.....I need a no $hit answer and if somehow had a simple diagram/photos that would really put the icing on it. Thanks in advance!

The driver side by the engine mount is a 17 Allen socket. Use a long extension and put a bucket underneath. My turbos connect to each other. Then the last port is by the passenger side rear exhaust manifold. Torx 50. I didn't have copper washers so I used rtv.

APS kit here. One feed connects from the rear of passenger side head. A line connects the turbo's and then another line to the drivers head near the front. Not sure which direction coolant is flowing but it goes out of one, through both turbo's and back into the other.
