well if you know then it shouldn't be that hard.
oil in must be pressurised (eg after the oil pump)
oil out just drains to the sump
water- just make it a part of the water circulation, but put the inlet(on the turbo) after the radiator, and the outlet before the radiator. so you get cooler water to the turbo.
just have a look at the motor and look for parts on it that will allow you to achieve this.

who said it was hard?
my oil feed comes from the oil pressure switch threaded hole...
the water is inline with the heater hoses...

i used a braided line with a steel fitting from the oil pressure sender hole, which goes to a remote mounted metal tee peice that has the oil pressure sender and a braided turbo feed line on it going to the turbo.
the reason i have remote mounted the oil pressure sender and turbo feed tee peice is a lot of people have had their tee peice break (including me) at the block from too much weight on it with viabration etc.
i have tee'd my heater lines to run the coolant through the turbo. this is how HKS did it originaly.

Too true. The brass fittings are pretty ordinary quality, and really dont go well with the weight of an electric oil pressure sender hanging off the end. Its a real bitch to get the broken piece out of the thread in the block too!
Another idea for the water is to feed from the block. Near the front of the block on the exhuast side there is a brass coolant drainage tap that can be removed & replaced with a hose fitting, then have the other hose from the turbo going back to the top radiator tank (or whichever is the hot side of the radiator if your tanks are on either side)
Cheers
Phil
