oil catch can fitting

[Quickstop [UK]]

I have a small catch can from Jegs and I want to run a 3/8 hose to the intake before the turbo but don't know what fitting to use.

I have a 3/8 NPT 90 to 3/8 barb in mind but do I need a flange or something? I thought I would be able to find something that has a nut on the other side of the fitting but I don't know what that is called and haven't seen anything in Autozone or Home Depot.

Would the NPT be ok if I just drilled into the cobra intake and screw it in or should I install the part with the flange on either side?

Thanks in advance!

Is it a bulkhead fitting?

The connector that goes to the crossover tube - what is that called? Do I even need a grommet/flange/ whatever?

if you have a threaded fitting you will need something (preferably not rubber) to screw it into. Typically it needs to be thick, or thick enough for a couple threads. If you have any metal pipe between the turbo and air filter i would suggest welding a small nipple to it for your 3/8" hose.

similar to this.

I would suggest against a bulkhead just in case the nut comes loose, you don't want it being sucked into the turbo. Since the air intake is not pressurized you could probably get away with a barb fitting and simply drilling a hole into the rubber and pressing it in. Not something i personally would recommend, but technically it would work.
