Are you sure? That looks like a turbo oil drain too me. Are the hose coming off the secondary catch can firstly braided? Secondly has hose ends - like in the picture?

it will be into the sump, if its been through the hands of pheonix power then this is how it will be.

we currently have 2 ex pheonix power cars in and they both have the sumps vented to a catch can.

100% the pipe on the left goes to the can, the pipe on the right goes to the bottom of the turbo. (I would have thought other way around as stock turbo line is the one on the left, but not in this case)
