Looks a little different to mine. Mine doesn't have that hose coming off the top of the main outlet.
Under the main outlet there is another small pipe that needs to go to the bottom hose. Its a thermostat bypass for when the engine is cold and helps
towards a quick warm up.
The other outlet at the back goes to the heater.. if you have one, otherwise block it off.

I followed the Toyne diagram - but instead of runing two pipes forward to the bottom ali pipe, because not using a heater, I've T peiced the
heater and bottom thermostat outlet together so there's some flow where the heater would be.
Not tried it yet though!
