How to make this fitting work for intake inlet hose?

08LGT inlet in place of -> 05 OBXT inlet.

 

The fitting that is closest to the turbo is in question. I have not seen or expected this type of connector, not sure what it is for. But its a bit unique from the new inlet fitting that I am dropping in.

This is the original ripped inlet:

08 LGT with the fitting closest to the turbo being straight:

I'm thinking:

 

1) Find L shaped rubber hose and a nipple coupler that will connect the L shaped hose and the OEM hose connector

 

2) If the connector is picky (event though aftermarket seem to be regular nipple fittings that connect to the silicone hose) then I would be forced to order OEM from dealership. As the one I got was for $50 I can get OEM for ~$90 or aftermarket for ~$200..

 

3) Anyone have any constructive suggestions/warnings.

You can remove the connector, and put a standard hose from there to the inlet. You can also remove the little metal contact inside the connecter and plug it into the female end. It is just a simple jumper.

That's the PCV valve's intake run. PCV Valve tees to the intake manifold and to the inlet. Not exactly sure why Subaru did it like this since just about all other turbo cars out there have the PCV valves just go to the intake manifold and not to the turbo inlet.
