well, there appears to be a small little hole next to the oil drain tube, should i attempt to weld it or should I try jb weld? I've heard that welding cast can be a bitch.

anyone have any input?

that's the way they come from turbo manufacturer. It's normal.....leave it alone. It's just a hole from when they tapped the bolt hole for the oil drain bolt.
