Sorry,crappy old pics.
If you look on the right..at the Red hose connector by the alternator you should just be able to see the Banjo bolt head of the Oil FEED at the top of the Front iron.That is the start of the hose.It ends up at that Bend on top of the Turbo..to feed the turbo.
Now the Oil RETURN is just below the bottom rad hose,it is braided.It accesses the piece where the Oil metering pump is/was located.

Water is from a nipple on the back of the water pump.There is also a access point on the Upper manifold for coolant to supply the Turbo.Located about second intake runner(rear) on the side.
