That's why you need to drill the oil pan.
The turbo has a few openings.
You can see what i mean here. The opening in the middle is for an air filter, just like you had before on your intake.
The other opening on the side is where the compressed air is going to come out from and go to your engine. This is also where you connect the pipe to the intercooler. Then the air gets cooled down in the intercooler, and gets to your engine a little cooler than it originally was.
As you can see in your last picture, the downpipe connects to the turbo and goes under the car. The turbo is just a fan that works with your exhaust gases. Those gases need to go somewhere, so the downpipe directs those gases out to your existing exhaust system. You need to make sure you make one, or buy one, that will connect to your exhaust.
I know sometimes it seems likes it is a lot of info to take in, but read more, and eventually you will completely understand how this works, and will be able to make it happen.
This here is a pretty cool link, helped me when I started learning.

No problem, If you are nice and search but need someone to clarify something, people will be nice. But there's a lot others that just come in asking before searching.
Glad to help, If you need more help, let us know.

The oil is there for a lubricant, as well as cooling it down, some turbos have coolant lines as well.
You do not need a super 60 noob, that is a way too big turbo, Unless, you are building your motor, hahaha, get a smaller T#, like the one beerbongkickass has.
although going with a expensive super 60 will give you more torq! (torque is good) but you will have to wait forever for it to spool. hahaha

Oh and I doubt they all spin at 100,000rpm's, all turbo's are different.
