ok, i havent got any pictures to hand. they are mostly on the rtoc.org site.
on the carb base, you have two water hoses, one connects to the turbo water feed, the other connects to the inlet manifold. you have a brass connector pointing towards the n/s of the car, this is boost/vac connection below the venturi, originally this is connected to a T piece, one goes to the carb top , the other goes to the turbo wastegate actuator- front port!!!
there is another connector that points to the o/s of the car, this is the boost connection for the accelerator pump. this has multiple T's, as it also connects to the carb top port on the o/s of the car, the incar boost gauge and the fuel pressure regulator boost feed. there is a funny protruding part of the carb that points towards the n/s of the car- this has a small connector on it that points towards the rocker cover...leave it alone or put and open ended pipe onto it. - its a breather / emergency fuel run off, if the internal diaphragm fails. - repeat - do not block it off!

its also worth looking in haynes manual. there is a boost circuit diagram- which is alittle confusing, but there is also a water circuit diagram too...
