Yeah, shutup kid.
You can kinda see how I ran my oil lines in this pic. As for coolant lines...what are those? 
I don't run coolant in mine and there's never been a problem with it.
Oil feed comes from the oil pressure sender. Return is tapped into the front cover.

coldy; did you pull the front cover off and take it somewhere? i am probably just going to tap the oil pan for now. also, did you use the racing beat oil block thing? if not is it possible to snap a shot of how you tee'd off your oil sending area? ROCK!

Yeah, shutup kid.
Nope, didn't take the cover off. Drilled and tapped while still attached to the engine. Then drained the oil and poured about 4 gallons of diesel through the oil system to clear out the shavings.
As for the feed, well, I didn't T off it. My pressure gauge never worked right, so I just took the sender out and screwed this in. I'm pretty sure the fitting is 1/8" NPT.
HormBM: Yeah, there was a very small leak out the front cover gasket. But I didn't bother to fix it because I was going to build a different motor soon anyway. And now that new engine is in it and it will be running again in a couple days

the most common place on the front cover is on a GSL-SE front cover. Below the metering oil pump there is an indentation that is the perfect size for a turbo oil return.
My bet is mazda used that spot for a turbo oil return on the 12aTurbo in japan.
