Aftermarket turbo oil lines?

Ok After setting up my intake and getting my EMS installed I need to figure out the oil lines for my TO4 I am working on getting a Garret 60-1 from a guy on another forum. For those of you that have aftermarket turbo's how did you get oil to your little hair dryer?
I was wondering if I could modify the stock turbo's oil feed/return lines to work with the Garret. Has anyone done this or do you HAVE to make new feed/return lines for them?

PS- Pictures would be way helpfull also.

They have adapters I think. If not, you could just cut it off pretty close to the front cover, and get a weld on -10an fitting. Theyre like $10 at summit.

Just make your own lines out of braided stainless and AN fittngs. Pretty simple all things considered...Connect the oil feed line to the banjo bolt (use an AN adapter) where the stock line connects, and make a small flange with appropriate AN adapter for the drain.
