Not only does this path shorten the hot side piping, it moves it from running up and over the exhaust manifold. And, it means that I can check the oil without potentially burning my hand/arm on the intercooler piping. 
While the initial thought about cutting into this brand new turbo was absolutely not something I could do, I could see the benefits as the rationale was described. I questioned welding cast as I know that not every welder will tackle that and Paulo pointed out that growing up and learning the trade in the Phillipines – welders learned everything. And, that cast Vibrant angle is now solidly mated to my Precision turbo.
