No.

It's on the passenger side of the timing cover. Even timing covers without the nipple should have a round boss with a sunken center, fairly high. The Starion stuff I have case a lazy c shaped hose from the big nipple on the bottom of the turbo center housing to a matching o.d. nipple x mipt, with the timing cover drilled and tapped to fit the mipt. Constant downhill slope is absolutely necessary, because you want no impediment to oil drain back. The oil circuit is via steel line from oil cooler adapter to top of turbo center housing, entering main poil gallery that feeds (1) double oil film shaft bearings - 100krpms here!, and (2)thrust plates, with the bleed off oil drining into the open area of the center housing, hopefully not hitting the shaft (windage losses), and out the drain nipple. Any obsturction to flow can pool up the oil in the housing, killing turbo rotation and letting the oil coke up in the extreme heat from the exhaust side. It's a water cooled housing, but it still gets HOT in there, and even hotter if you don't let it idle down in temp some (the only reason for a turbo timer, and a good one). This coking is the reason for the short oil change intervals on the turbo motors, along with more blow-by from higher pressured combustion.
