you pretty much got the short and easy way.
alot of people just use a brass T to tap the oil supply line from the sending unit, the return line should up into the oil pan.
the thing about the return line is, the higher you tap it, the less chance it will mess up your seal.(hot oil cant get out fast enough)

Re: turbo oil feed lines (iam7head)
Another option for the oil feed line is to use an oil filter adapter and run the feed from it. For example Golden Eagle, Greddy (which I use), etc. all make one that would easily accomidate a feed line, all you would need is a male to male AN / pipe fitting to connect it.
The return (as indicated above) works on gravity to drain the oil to the pan. You would want to make sure you have a smooth run to the pan, with no spot in the line lower the pan (or the welded in return fitting) so oil is not resitricted and/ or backfeed into the line. Otherwise you will end up blowing the seals in the turbocharger.
Have the return fitting welded up as high in the pan as possible so that there will be no blockage by the oil that sits in the pan. You may have to comprimise a little here depending on the return line routing, clearance for everything, location of the turbo (as some manifolds hang the unit pretty low), etc.
Be sure to wash out the pan well before you have it welded up... fire is not fun and contamination of the area to be welded can lead to poor welds.

That's how I ran it.

Re: turbo oil feed lines (steve96accord)
you might want to shop around for the best price and whatnot, I got mine at the local performance shop for around 60.00 (the greddy unit).
kteller.com has the GE one for about 100.00 (which these are usually more expensive than others)
importparts.com has the AC and Greddy adapters for about 60.00 (and I do believe they will price match if you can find it cheaper).
both sites list them under the cat. of engine and subcatagory of oil coolers and/ or accessories.
