    So with these hoses from Motorsport tools, where do you run the hose from the inlet manifold to? can you just blank it off? or does it not have to join into the bottom radiator hose? Im not using a heater matrix either.

    its highly not recommended to block the inlet manifold water outlet, thats where the coolant recirculates when the thermostat is closed.
    just use a T piece to join it into the hose coming off the back of the water pump if your not using the XE water rail
