The one from the oil pan goes from the turbo. It is the drain line, and gravity fed. The other is the feed line which comes from the back of the block, and is pressure fed. You can also hook up the oil feed from a firewall kit. The firewall kit just allows it to be easier for oil connections, instead of always having to do it from the back of the block.

Now there are also coolant lines if a turbo is water cooled as well.

depends on the turbo. Just oil cooled turbos have on oil inlet (usualyl from the oil pressure sender on the block) and one going to the oil pan for a return. There are also water/oil cooled turbos which have the 2 oil lines above plus an in and out coolant line as well

to the upper left of the oil filter there is a sensor (oil pressure sender) which you can remove and add a fitting for the oil line or add a "T" so you can run the oil pressure sender and the oil feed for the turbo.

You could alos just get an oil sandwich adapter which goes between the block and the oil filter and has holes for oil feeds, oil temp, or oil pressure sensors.

yea i have a built d16 with a 57 trim t3/t04e, but to get the fitting you need to contact stealthmode or tunertoys because they fitting they have has the correct thread pitch. Personally i just got the oil sandwich adapter. On my new setup though i tapped the oil pressure sender hole wiht a more common thread and straight from the hole to the turbo, no way of a fitting break or anything
