watercooling the turbo and intercoolers don't have anything to do with eachother. Watercooling the turbo keeps it cool while intercoolers are used to cool down the air coming into your engine.

Unfortunately since Honda never came with turbos from the factory, you'll need to provide your own source for the oil. Most people just pull out the knock sensor, since they are worthless, and drill a hole all the way into the block. That should provide a good source of oil, and already have threads for you to connect your oil line to.

i have to make a hole into the block for water or oil? if i remove the turbo in the future, the hole is permanent, therefore the block is gonna be mess up?

I have never heard of drilling through the knock sensor area. What MOST honda people do is they take out thier oil pressure sensor located right above the oil filter and they but in a tee of some sort. Than from this tee you feed the turbo. As for water cooling lines can be taken off of the throttle body. You have alot of searching to do. Dont just start buying parts before you know what your doing and what your looking for. I hope this helps.
