Default Escort Turbo Cooling lines (where do they go?)

Hi, I have a rebuilt turbo for an escort rs turbo... I have the oil line in the top, the coolant line on the bottom hat goes straight to the block... BUT, where do the two lines on the sides end up? They are held on with Banjo bolts on the turbo, but I don't know where they go after that, any help would be satisfactory

Think the 1 at the back goes to the coolant hose that goes from the rad to the thermostat housing and the other goes into the drivers side of the radiator above the large water pump to rad hose.
Also the large pile on the bottom is the oil return to the bottom of the block.
Only the s2 rs turbo had a water cooled turbo btw.

Thanks for the reply dude... I guess that'll make more sense when I get the coolant hoses in and the rad on.... Out of interest, the one that goes to the thermostat, is the the little pipe coming off of the thermostat? As I have a swirl pot and it comes off at a different angle.

Yeah it is a S2

No,the small pipe off the top of the thermostat goes to the top outlet on the header tank.
The big pipe from the rad to the thermostat housing should have a small pipe moulded into it for the turbo.
