cool vgt install question

ok been collecting parts and am almost ready to start the rest of the build. found an 08 vgt turbo on craigslist for 300 bucks and that's where it started.

sent it to high tech turbos in salt lake had them rebuild and machine it out from a 51mm compressor to a 64mm and do their stuff to it.

I now have it back and have been collecting parts. 6.7 stock manifold, afe egr delete plates, 08 down pipe mbrp, to much $$ worth of aroquip fittings and hose for coolant lines and other random parts.

ok now my big QUESTION im planning on pulling a coolant plug from the top of the motor for the supply of coolant but don't know where to return it too? any help ?

the norm is to splice it back into the heater hose.

I spliced mine into the heater core return line. Seen quite a few trucks ran like that.
