There is a tapped 1/8 npt hole in the intake hat. Its the metal housing that the turbo feeds into.

But on the stock turbos that intake tube thing is what the valve cover tube feeds into...

Uhhh, no. That is a factory turbo, I'm talking about the black line that goes into the intake hat that is 1/8 inches thick.
