If you doing an aftermarket turbo conversion, where is the best place to buy oil and water lines? How much would it be to have them custom made, or is it better to find the standard ones that came on the car the turbo is off?
Also is this a good way to hook up the oil lines:
T-piece on oil pressure warning light --> turbo oil inlet --> turbo oil outlet --> oil cooler --> sump
Or would it be better to put the oil cooler before the turbo?

oil feed, popular place is from the oil pressure sensor location.
oil return, tap return into sump
water feed, any water hose you can get ya hands on
water return, tap it back into the radiator
All very fun.... *sarcasm*

i got my oil feed lines made from Enzed, only cost me $125 (i did get trade price though  ) for 2 lengths (50cm each) of braided teflon lines with fittings. steel fitting into the oil sender boss on the block and then the braided line to a T peice that holds the oil pressure sender and the other braided line to the turbo.
while your there grab some brass barbed T peices and T into your heater lines for the turbo coolant lines.
think about it and research first and a turbo conversion is a simple thing to do really.
