GTT Turbo hoses - where do they go?

Hi Everyone,

I am in the middle of finishing my GT Turbo after a head gasket change.
I have some hoses that I don't know where they go! I should have taken more photos...
  1. Turbo water cooling outlet - where is this connected?
  2. Rear bottom of the carburettor, two hoses in a V shape. Where does the right-hand one (as you peer down the back, points towards the passenger side of the car) get connected? It comes out, turns the corner and points towards the engine and ends just before the rocker cover
  3. Pipe running parallel to just behind the rocker cover. Seems to come from the oil catch tank?
Any help gratefully received!

Thanks,

Andrew
 
1. Outlet (top hose on turbo) goes to the small water-pump inlet located underneath the top rad' hose (the hose that has the thermostat in).

2. Carb base: If standing at the offside of the car/engine, looking down at the carb, the right hand 'v' hose goes to the turbo coolant inlet (bottom connection on turbo). The left hand 'v' hose goes to the furthest inlet manifold connector.

3. Yep, it's a breather hose - Goes from the rocker cover outlet/plastic elbow to the side/body inlet of the oil separator pot.
 
Thanks! I may have mixed up a couple of hoses!
I'll check my work tomorrow and report back - there may be some further confusion ahead ;-O

Ok! Both very helpful, thank you. Once again, Steve, your Raider is a work of art! So I have made a little progress. The hose that comes from the base of the carburettor and goes round the front of the rocker is the turbo water feed. Mine is aftermarket and seems not quite right to connect directly with the turbo. Luckily there's ano odds section of hose already on the turbo so I will use the old joined to make it work. This the the hose:

It's the black one (!) Joking - the end of it is floating by the turbo as I wasn't sure where it should go...

Now for the breathers. One is connected to the rocker and to the side of the separator pot. Where is the top of the pot connected? The hose seems to come parallel to the back of the rocker and then to a T piece. That T piece seems to line up nicely with the other hose that I don't understand - it comes out of the base at the back of the carb and then curves 90 degrees back towards the rocker. Surely that doesn't connect up with the breather from the oil pot. Or does it?

And then, if that T piece is right, where does the other side of the T get connected?

I have one hose left over from the kit I bought... Does anyone recognise it?
