Turbo coolant return question?

I just picked up a turbo that has water and oil cooling, and haven't had one with coolant lines in a while. I'm good on the feed line, but my stock coolant return port has been cut and welded shut ( previous owner )

SO, I have no heater in my car and the return for the heater core is just plugged right now and unused.. I just need somewhere to return coolant from the turbo, is it ok to use this return?
