Yellow is oil drain back into sump, this will be the big diameter pipe on the bottom of the turbo. Pink is the oil feed to the turbo, this is the smaller of the two banjo fittings. Blue is the water connection, the large banjo fitting Green is the water drain plug and should stay blocked Red is where my water connection is on the other side of the block, someone else will have to confirm this is the std location, this is connected to the long pipe off the turbo, pipe goes to the rear of the block and round the corner to the other side, use the best high temp hose you can find and use good hose clips. Hope this helps Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
