if its got oil in it its supposed to go to the turbo

but i recon it could be the coolant line for the turbo

either way it should be connected

the braided hose goes to the engine block?

Its obvious this is a aftermarket turbo that you have on this car...

The factory baby turbo is both WATER & OIL cooled as it also requires water as a cooling source being a ball bearing (but ceramic turbine wheeled) AND as from the photos you have supplied, the turbo that is now on there is only oil cooled (most probably a thrust bearing type that only requires oil). I can only assume that its the water/coolant line being blocked off as its not being used.

The factory turbo has 4 lines attached to it, OIL IN, OIL OUT, WATER IN, WATER OUT.

The current turbo has two lines : OIL IN & OIL OUT.

DO THIS : let the car cool down, un-do the block-off nut at the end of that hose and see what comes out of it, if its water or coolant, then its sweet (even tho it should really be connected back up to the other water hose for a continuous flow) BUT if its oil, then it's not right !!

The pictured line that is blocked off is a coolant line for the factory turbo.
