Spent the second half of today slowly and carefully hooking everything back up, all is in bar the manifolds and turbo. I went to get started on that and noticed that there is no where to hook the small braded hose on the turbo up to on the engine block. Its a female fitting but there isnt a male thread on the block to hook it up to. I have a pick below im not sure what the hole with the blue arrow is for, as far as i can remember there wasnt anything hooked up to that before, so do i just ignore it? The hole with the red arrow is the one i am guessing a fitting should be screwed into so i can hook the second smaller braded line on the turbo to, am i right?

If so it means Bruce and the guys didnt swap that fitting over onto my motor, so i will have to wait until monday to get it, or does someone have a Tdi donk sitting around that is buggered that i can scab that bit off so i can get my car running tomorrow?

That blue arrow is for the litle brass block drain plug. The Turbo oil feed has a male to male fitting that goes into the red arrowed hole. The fitting is probably still in the workshop, along with the block drain plug...
