Are you talking about that bolt on fitting between the drive and compressor shells that looks like an oil return line?

Yes the oil return. On a typical high mount (higher than the oil pan) location you use a gravity feed setup to drain the oil from the bearing. On a low mount like that one you use a scavenge pump. If the angle is too extreme or drain too small you risk backing up oil in the turbo, blowing seals along with other nasties.
