I got an RB25 turbo to throw on my 20. I am putting on the intake tract and I will have it all running again. The stock turbo's wastegate actuator has a line going right back over to the aluminum part of the turbo. The new one has an elbow pointing forward for a hose but nothing on the turbo body.

I bought a greddy bov and aftermarket fmic but I don't have a way to pipe it in yet so I am using my stock parts again for now. Looking at my other car(ca18det with aftermarket fmic and piping) It has a pipe with a nipple on it that comes from the outlet going toward the intercooler from the turbo, that would be for the wastegate actuator right?So, can I just tap a nipple into the actual outlet elbow that comes off the turbo? The one that has the three bolts holding it on...

I want to get this working right stock and then be able to just put my new bov and piping with no issue later. Seems if I tap this nipple in here, I will save myself needing one installed into the new piping later.
