Default d16 turbo project -- need help

bought a turbo for my d16y8 in my 96 civic. the only variable i'm having a problem with is the oil feed/drain system. i've seen a few different methods, but don't know what is the best way of going about it. where is the easiest place to hook up the oil feed line to the engine? is the oil pan the best place for a drain? what adapters or flanges do i need to get? any help would be great, thanks

didn't find much on on the oil feed lines. basically everyone taps into the oil pan so that covers the drain, but that still leaves me hanging on the feed side....

never heard of a sandwich plate....looked it up and seems like by far the easiest way of doing it. thanks alot man. anyone with a T04E turbo on a d16? what kind of horsepower increase did you see? just want to know what kind or range i should expect to be in.

oh sweet. sorry man missed that picture i guess. and as for where i found it, if you're comfortable with eBay just search 'civic sandwich plate' and theres a few listed for $39.99 buy it now by Maxspeed Motorsport. i'd buy from them, i just dealt with them in getting some gauges and they were great. knocked down the price on a gauge to get a matching set and shipped both in the same box for me.
