its a bolt that goes into the block and the turbo. they are hallow. they supply your turbo with oil.

A banjo bolt is a bolt with a hole in the center and on it sides. They are commonly used on brake calipers to connect the brake line to the caliper, and any other application that needs fluid to pass through a bolt
Here is an example. Disregard the hole drilled on the head, it's for a safety wire.

The safety wire is common on gas turbines. We see them on almost all the stationary gas turbines that are used for the gas compressors for the pipeline.
