Nope....
The hose next to the airbox is the coolant "feed" line. The one going to the block is the "return" line. I'm gonna have to go look at mine, and see if I can be of any help.

one other thing....
it sounds like you don't have the kit in yet, right? I would hold off on installing the oil return line until the kit is in the car. Once the kit is in, reach up from under the car to bolt that fitting on. You don't want to risk damaging the fitting while trying to fit the kit in.

Damn it you guys!!!!!!!!!
In checking out mine real close, so I could give some correct info, I noticed some black splatter on top of the turbo, in the area of the oil feed line. It looked like carbon, so I started up the car. Low and behold....I've got a pretty good gasket leak!! It's between the exhaust manifold, and the turbo. Damn it..Damn it..Damn it!!!! Looks like I'll be experiencing another S3 install. Hmmmm....I'll have to see if I can get that cat. out of this huh Chris??

Re: can you take a picture of it?
I don't have a camera, but I'll try to see if I can borrow one or something. When I first started it up, it was really cold, and had been sitting all night. Water actually poured out of the gasket, and down the turbo. Kinda like the condensation dripping out of the exhaust when cold. It eventually dried up, but it's kinda loud also.
