erm those 3 hoses should be connected
big ####er is the brake one i think
medium goes to the fuel reg
and small goes to the firewall that thing with the filter on it

the tap on the inlet manifold on the flat surface is what your referring 2?
and the hose underneath the tb should be blocked off

update...

decided to run the engine in before turbos go on as you all know already, so this weekend gone i was hoping that the engine would be finished but ran into a bit of a hiccup with the proflow fitting on the front of the fuel rails....i broke it lol...so fuel rail is not done as yet, besides that and 5 or so small things its done...due to working all day i cant get to VPW to get another one untill saturday so this weekend it will be done. a bit confused with 1 wire in the engine bay (big round one with a little circle in the middle, not the knock sensor) and where it goes so ill post pics up of it later aswell as the engine and how it looks now. im trying to keep everything as standard as possible, so the car will start enough for me to drive it 1000 klms to wear engine in, therefore standard CAI, injectors are being used. try and keep the ECU thinking as normal as possible....(CAI looks ugly, cant wait to get rid of it) the fans also dont go on the aftermarket radiator i got which will require a bit of modding in order for it to stay on properly. so that, 1 wire, battery and engine mounts need to be tightened up and fuel system and its done....thank god..

pics will be on later :)
