I simply threaded the hole and put in a fitting. I think 1/4" NPT.

If you can take that loose fitting to a machine shop and have them turn you
a new item on a lathe that will be a "press" or "shrink" fit, then cool that
thing with dry ice and tap it in the hole before it warms up.

Which turbo do you have?
      
'91 stock single stage

Hmmm. So I have to watch the thottle.

    
Stay rich in boost, and use high octane.
      
OK

    
Not knowing exactly what your hose barb is made of  -its hard to advise.
However, here is a make shift fix assuming its the coolant tube which
      
sticks
    
out of the block a couple of inches....
      
It's steel and it's supposed to be a tight fit in the top of the block.
    
Its
  
fairly easy to move. The problem is keeping it from coming out of the
    
block,
  
not keeping the hose attached.

Thanks for the input on the turbo. Yes, I do have Tracy's turbo EC2
    
version.
