Default D16 turbo questions

I just bought a turbo kit for my 97' honda civic EX (d16y.

I understand i need to tap the oil pan for the turbo's oil return line, Where should I tap it at? is there a spot on the pan that I must tap it at or that is better than others?
I was also told i need a new fuel pump and FMU, do I really need both of these?

If any one can help please email me at Djaywrecless@aol.com
Thanks

Well. Install the turbo, screw with the pan last. Just visualize where you want to put it. Try to stay as far up on the pan as possible without kinking your line, and make sure your oil drain is always higher up than the fitting on your oil pan. As for management, you have allot of options. You could either do the fmu, fuel pump deal. Or go the AFC/SMC hack route that allot of people are jumping on. Read up in the engine management forum.

i put a pic of my tapped oil pan here: http://www31.brinkster.com/crxx/zexrex.html

you need either a fmu or afc/bigger injectors. the fmu is only good to 6 or 7 psi. i would get the afc and injectors. what do you have in the turbo kit you got? most come with a fmu but they call it a "Progressive Type Fuel Regulator"
