Question were do the oil lines/ water lines go to?

I am getting ready to install a t04s bb turbo kit next month. As many of you DIY guys know there are no directions that come with single turbo kits.
My question is....were do i tap into the engine for the oil feed line & oil return?
..........................were do i tap into the engine for the coolant feed line & return?

I also have a tial wategate that is air and water cooled. Can someone give me a little clarity on how i should plumb that up?

I have this site wich is the best ive seen so far but the questions i ask above are not answered there http://www.negative-camber.org/crispyrx7/gt35rpage1.htm

Any feedback would be wonderful...thanks in advance

Oil feed is on the block. Follow the stock oil line over to the right side of the block. There is a banjo bolt there. Remove that and use that spot.
Oil return is on the front iron or the same spot the stock turbos use for oil return. The rear oil return will be blocked off.
Tial wastege has option to run coolant to it but dont use it. Just leave the ports open as they are just a pass thru.
Coolant ports are on the sides of the turbo and run them to the same ports the stock turbo uses for coolant which are on the temp housing.

then you should have never undergone this procedure unless you had the time to fiddle.

Installing a single turbo is not something you can generally do over the weekend.

Typically for the oil return we take the stock flange on the block and just cut the flange off. That allows you to slip the oil return hose on it and use a clamp.
As I recall we have also used this flange on the block side which is also used on the turbo side for oil drain.

The adapter to use from stock to short adapter oil line is:
Earl's 9919BFH is a 14mm 1.5 pitch male to -4AN male adapter.
It can be used to attach an oil line directly to either the front side housing where the Mazda banjo bolt is, or to the end of the stock Mazda oil line.

It can do both because the 14mm male end also contains a female tapered compression fitting like the stock Mazda line from the turbo.
