I still need a 90deg fitting though since the grimmspeed wastegate holder thing is in the way... the line cant go straight in, the way it currently sits. I suppose I could clock the turbo a little but I dont know if I want to change where the intercooler hose will go

No. you want something that looks like this in the correct size. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ru...oZAaAho58P8HAQ

Is there any problem with drilling and tapping my front coolant block off plate to pull coolant for the turbo? I have an Artech water lines that mount towards the front and I don't want to pull coolant from all the way at the back of the motor. Will pulling coolant from the front negatively affect the coolant flow since I have a coolant reroute?

Well you want to loop the coolant return from the turbo into the back otherwise you wouldn't get fresh coolant to the turbo. I think at least, makes sense in my head. I honestly didn't do the coolant reroute on my car, so I'm not a reliable go to source on how correct it is or not.
All I know is my turbo hasn't coked up or overheated so it is working as intended. Hope that helps.
