turbo oil should come off your oil pressure switch .looking at the size of that an fitting it looks more like a oil return from a breather setup

the oil then drains into the sump under your turbo

I have a return to the sump under the turbo, this fitting was put in when engine was rebuilt, I thought it could be an output to turbo. I have this fitting also that I don’t know what it’s for!!

yes that fitting will be your turbo oil feed and a oil pressure switch to your dash.the feed goes up between your engine and bulkhead and has a couple of p clamps to your head above the exhaust manifold and then into your turbo.

is your engine 2wd or 4wd?

have a look on the burton website and you will see the differences

4wd block with a 2wd head, not sure the head would make any difference. I have got a hose from Burton but fittings are too big on the hose , I only have an-6 on the pressure switch , looks like an-8 on the other one
