If you take the compressor cover off and measure the wheel It will be easier to identify the turbo for you . ( and if you can take the hotside off and measure the turbine wheel that will help also )


for oil feed you can run it from the iron ( on driver side where the stock hard line starts )

so it would be a 90 degree then the line to 45 degree to turbo ( might have to use restrictor ).

Then for oil return you will need to buy the front cover flange -12 usually if i remember then run a line from turbo to the flange.

First of all, this stuff is not a bolt-in project.
There's a lot of little things that need to be addressed.
You sound like you're in over your head.

Second, your compressor wheel measurements are not accurate.
There is nothing that I can find that comes remotely close to your 67mm / 76mm numbers - 2.6" / 3.0".
Are you eyeballing it?
You need a pair of vernier dial calipers for accuracy.
You can cross-referece the numbers here:
