The breather from the oil neck connects to that, it goes over towards the passenger side of the motor and eventually goes to the primary turbo inlet duct.

They both go to the primary turbo inlet. Do not use that piece of silicone for you turbo coolant hose

Because that type of silicone hose is not rated for the pressure of the coolant system. The coolant system can see in excess of 1 bar depending what type of cap you are running. It will fail. Best option for that application is the oem hose as it is molded to fit exactly. If you must use silicone, it needs to be the reinforced type.
