Looking at the pics/vids of my bus which I have yet to even seen in person, the intake is going from the turbo up to the radiator area then back to the intake manifold. What's going on up there? Ugh. Can't upload little video, I hate Tapatalk. I really do. I'll try on a browser or upload to YouTube I guess. You can see on this pic the charge pipe runs up to the top of the rad support area on the driver side then comes out the bottom and goes to intake. Is it just a wierd routing or is there a cooler of some sort in there already?

The blue arrow looks to point to the upper radiator hose.
The green arrow looks to come from the outlet of the turbocharger. See where it goes to on the drivers side. You might already have a Cooler on there, because a non-intercooled dt360 will have the pipe go straight over the valve cover to the intake, while the intercooled version will have pipe go towards the drivers side of the radiator, similar to what you're showing.

The blue arrow I was following imaginary from the bottom of the driver side out of sight. The fact it didn't just go right over the valve cover into the intake was my reason for that post. So it appears I do have an intercooler. So is this a DTA360 or is there more differences? I was under the Impression the dta was in the 4700 series after 1989.

Woo hoo! Finally going to pick up and drive home my bus! So how cold can I expect it to start without a block heater? It's like 34-36 in the hills where it is.

I've not done it myself but you can usually add an air line to your air brake tank.
Brokedown aka Josh can tell you about it.

my DTA360 starts easy down to about 10-15.. below that it takes a bit of chuga-chuga-chuga to get going.. if it has set for awhile and doesnt pop right off then you may want to pump the primer in case fuel has drained down from thje pump..

using an air connect off of the air brake tank means you need to leave the bus engine running while working with your air tools..

I ran a shutoff connection at the compressor tank so it can be shut off when not needed. Yes, the bus needs to run for it to supply air, but in a pinch, it's handy to have.

That's good. The guy starts it every month warms it up and runs it for awhile, and hasnt had issues as far as I know. Just doing it in the cold I'm a little concerned.

Start a thread on your own. This is in the middle of mine. Tappatalk sucks and is confusing. Go to the web sight and figureit out that way maybe.
