Heat exchanger plumbing

I have added a used SC to my 2.4 NA. Can anyone tell me if it is the lower or upper hose inlet on the intake that is the water inlet from the pump? I think it is the lower but wanted to confirm. Also, the exchanger radiator from DF appears to be bi-directional so it doesn’t matter which way water flows?
Thanks

The bottom hose on my intercooler goes to the water pump, and is the stock black hose.
The top hose i put a clear one on (with blue fluid), and it goes to my intercooler radiator.

The DF radiator can flow either way, but I prefer to put the hot in the top, and as it cools, it naturally wants to go to the bottom.

In Arkansas, the intercooler only gets warm. 12 PSI boost (stock LSJ) isn't enough heat to cause any issues.
