Re:i hate turbos! *UPDATE W/ PICS Y0!*
but at least your intercooler looks good 
i had the same prob with my radaitor so i grinded the metal down by the headlight and moved the brackets so i could move it over 1 1/2"-2",fit fine after that.

Re:i hate turbos! *UPDATE W/ PICS Y0!*
it tok me 13 hours to do my turbo install on my Si. For my oil return i used jbweld... but for some reason it kept leaking 
. i was pretty mad, but i got everything running... too bad it only lasted a month and a half

as soon as i find antoher turbo/manifold to buy, then as soon as it gets to me :P i'll prolly pick up a bmc mani, but it will take up to two weeks, that means two more n/a weeks with a fmic, all the ricers laugh at me.......

Re:i hate turbos! *UPDATE W/ PICS Y0!*
go get a new oil pan. i wouldnt have jb weld anywhere on the inside of my oil pan, that ---- could flake off (especially with all that vibration and the fact that its sticking to paint in there).
did you try putting a pumper on there?....imo you are gonna have to push it up and back some
