turboing a n/a

I am turboing my 86 rx7. I have the manifold and a stock sized turbo. Where should i tap for oil and what else should i do. Also what are the potential risks involved. It will primarily be at a low boost (4-6lbs.). What size exausht would be good for it? i was told 3.5" or 4" would be good but i am not sure.

For 4-6 PSI its not worth it.

The link posted above is a log of the entire project. It's good reading, but probably not the best to answer the question.

The link for specific information on turbocharging the NA is this:

Also, the 2nd gen FAQ contains a lot more turbo-NA links and is the first place that should be checked before asking a question.
