I drilled an internal hole the size of this male fitting below into the oil drain plug above while holding in place during the weld with a drill bit the size of the hole. I lopped off some of the pipe threads on the male fitting below so it wouldn't stick out too far, but not too much to allow enough material to weld to and use a wrench on the male fitting flats. The flats of the oil drain plug were sacrificed during welding.



Lastly, I used this barb from Push-Lok (hydraulic fitting company) that has a barb I run Push-Lok hose from that mates to the turbo oil drain fitting I also have a barb on secured with hose clamps.



All parts are steel so I could weld to them.

Since the swivel 90* gets so close to one of the header primaries, I had to wrap the primary with header wrap in about a 3" wide section to keep the radiant heat away.

Works fine.

To drain the oil, I have to loosen and remove the 90, drain the oil from the turbo hose (not much from the hose), but the sump holds a lot (obviously).
