I've read several threads where people say going under the exhaust manifold is not a good idea, as the heat from the general area of the exhaust manifold and housing on the turbo can heat the oil up quite a bit. Does the oil feed on my turbo look like it will be ok, or should I go out the front by the compressor housing?

 

Personally, I think it looks alright, because it's not touching any of the extremely hot parts. I actually ran my feed line around the other side of the engine, and it was not near the turbine housing like yours is.

Ditto...I think what some people do is they run the feed line between the runners of their manifolds...that would not be a good idea. You should be fine.
