Ender is on a distinguished road
I use silicone vac line to butt up against the MBC, I just have to have two 1.5" insert pieces to connect the compression fittings to the silicone lines. The silicone is secured with fuel line clamps. I think I will move the MBC a little farther away from the LIM/exhaust though, because it's pretty warm down there (plus I brilliantly put a finger in the fan...). I ran some tests tonight and it ran well, a bit unpredictable, but not dangerously peaky. I assume at least some of that is because the turbo-mani gasket is blown.

When I found that poly line at Lowes I realized that it might have been the same exact material as the previous setup had on it (I had bought the whole MBC and silicone from someone). It held up fine for months until the rebuild began its life running really retarded and the turbo glowed brightly.
