Subaru Cooling System

I have finished the Suby conversion in a Bay window and driven it-awesome.I am trying to understand how the cooling system works.Having some issues.I don't understand how the thermostat is located on the bottom hose - by the time it opens,the engine and radiator are really hot.I have a stainless pipe connecting the radiator bottom outlet to the thermostat housing that's about 1500mm long.I have read somewhere that the two 16mm heater pipes must never be restricted,or it can overheat.I have fitted a universal type heater unit behind the drivers seat and thinking maybe that the hoses are too long for the water to circulate correctly.I have used a late Commodore heater tap which always keeps the circuit open for flow.It's got me stumped.
