Default custom turbo for H22 Civic

so i have posted a few times about my homemade turbo kit. well i have been gathering parts here and there. and well here is my list.

CT26 turbo, internal wastegate at 8PSI, and 3in DP
FMIC
2.5in I/C piping (just ordered)
walbro 255lph fuel pump
B&M FPR
precision 660cc injectors
HKS SSQ BOV


so i have fabbed up the FMIC and got it up and where it needs to be, next when the I/C piping comes in im gonna fab up the cold side and cut the car to allow the piping. then my next move is full custom built turbo manifold. and when then gonna be using AEM for tuning (hopefully)

so im so close but yet so far away! i know im going to have to tap the oil pan for oil lines, however i am not sure how to set this up. its not tapping the line, its the actual lines themselves. do i need just one line? or two? can someone help me with this part? pictures or something? so i know whatelse i need to get. cuz im looking to set it up here when i can get the manifold ready. and make sure it works before i buy AEM lol.

dont really need this car to drive everyday its pretty much my track car so it can sit there untuned and not drive it thats fine. but the oil line has been buggin me. any help would be awesome thanks

Get your manifold made first before you start to find a location for your oil drain. Oil feed. I suggest you getting a oil sandwiche plate and get the oil feed line from stealth mode. Once that the turbo is on the mani thats on the block inside the engine bay. Put the oil drain fitting on the drain side of the turbo thats facing down and find a spot at the highest point of the pan thats a straight shot from the turbo between the oil pan bolts. Not that hard to figure out. So if you coule not get that then i suggest you do more reading.

Unless you like cracked turbine housings/snapped turbine shafts.

Not to mention if it's one of the ceramic bladed turbos those wheels are already done.
