Plug the ends of the cooling system hose you remove and then ziptie it to the air filter box mounts or the shower unit.

The reason being that IF you happen to damage the unit you can still use all the original hoses and you can still easily get into the secret hidden heater hose.

Thanks Dave - I was going to ask you to draw me a picture ... but I think I got it ... use the pipes as shown to plumb to the in/out of the HE but mount the HE on the firewall not on the block ... so the flow from these pipes is the best place on the TD5?!

Good idea on keeping the OE hose JIC (goes without saying!)

BTW not guilty of hose abuse - pic is from Piranha's instructions.
