That's very weird for any Garrett turbo to use that thread.

I'd carry metal tube further away from the housing before going to flexible hose, as per the right side in the photo.

Yeah that's the standard Ford return pipe I managed to obtain. Going to use Teflon pipe on that fitting. Here's to hoping!
