It's the brass piece.
The other connector on the right goes to an Amsoil filter placed before the supercharger.

you can put it anywhere thats fairly high on the oil pan, giving yourself enough room for hose routing and ease of install, also making sure its as short and as steep as possible coming from the turbo drain... btw, dont slack, take the darn oil pan out and drill it, you would be amazed at how much shavings get in there..

Yes, it's a 3/8 NPT thread. This is the exact location according to Vortech.
It's above the oil level and apparently it's necessary for the SC I have.
Other SC styles go back in the valve cover.
No shawings at all when using the tool they provide and if you put some grease on the tap when you cut the thread.
