Default Kit's in the garage

Hello again,

I just got this kit new from one of your vendors and have a couple questions. Looks like the bearing housing is the water cooled variant; has 4 ports. I'm glad it's water cooled, but I have no idea where to tap the coolant lines and there are no fittings included with the kit. There is nothing in the install instructions about running the water lines either. Can you provide some info on there to tap the coolant lines; near the radiator, near the heater core?
...Found water cooling is optional, coolant not required for this application. Thus no fittings with the kit. Heater core lines are the best source if used....

Also, can you decode the turbo specs so I know exactly what I have here, seal type, etc:
P/N 10848-BB S/N T-26811 Desc. T3_ST4B-BB-SH-S3-STD0_63
Still looking for this answer please

I assume this will confirm it's water cooled; is it required to run the water lines, or will the turbo be fine without them? ...see above...

Last thing, the WG flange was not welded to the Down Pipe as I anticipated, nor are the pipe diameters the same on the flange or the port of the down pipe. Is this a mistake or is there an ommission in the instruction to attach them, and if so how.. aside from welding?
...Found this connection should not be welded, but a tapered sleve fit that should be pressed in. No muffler or speed shops were able to stretch that size pipe so had no choice but to weld it...

Thanks again!

...edited with answers found elsewhere..
