I have no idea. On the turbo block the socket is cast into the mid block section. The pictures I posted were actually from a '99 LPT engine and the supply may have changed since the internal oil passages were rearranged to accommodate the CVVT and the changes in the oil cooler system. The oil cooler system change wasn't much since it was all in the sump pan.

Are you going turbo to NA? That’s easier to get something driveable although it will drive sedately.

I’ve got a T5 block out in NY if it helps anything.
