A bit of pipe the size of the oil return line from your turbo. Cut hole. Weld in

depending on size of turbo the bigger the better
t3 size turbo should be no smaller than 19mm pipe,no tight bends or rubber bends that aren't designed to used on turbos,they collapse under heat.
oil doesn't come out of a turbo as a liquid its look more like candy floss thus that's why you need a bigger return pipe than feed.

thanks Steve, turbo is an alltech sourced GT3582R.
Cully has suggested an earls type fitting, just gotta work out the size.

Don't use a earls fitting if you can avoid it. They are overpriced for something that can be done a lot easier.
