yea thats what i was wondering, if i should just drill a hole in my turbo and thread it( or the elbow), or just silicone it into the outlet coupler.

works really well, use the smallest threaded sizes to fit you needs, just in case you have to do it again, or screw up. You won't have a big hole to fill for a small hose fitting.
