That looks like the oil feed to the turbo. You can either bolt the oil feed to the turbo via the flange, or depending on the turbo, you can just thread the fitting right into the turbo.

That could be an aftermarket piece that bolts to the engine right above the oil filter though. If that's the case, then you don't need it either. Just drill and tap the factory piece for 1/8 NPT.

Ive seen some of the engines dont have the right block off to be tapped.. but the right ones are cheap.

The fitting you have in the first pic should work just fine with one elongated hole. That's how mine is.

Mine is a drilled and tapped factory blockoff plate, which has the single elongated hole. You'll be fine.
