Visit your local hardware store and browse through the brass fittings section. Get a nipple, a tee, adapters, some tubing, and plumb a line from your oil pressure sensor by the oil filter to your turbo. Remove oil pressure sensor and plumb it to whatever part of the tee you don't use for the oil line.

If you have a V6 I've heard there is already a place on the block that has been capped that can supply oil. Also a really good write-up on installing a turbo on a K series engine is http://www.overboost.com/story.asp?id=115

the 4 cyl or the 6 cyl have the oil holes in their cyl. heads. they are a british thread so beware. i got my kit through jgs turbo. it comes with the t block that taps off the sending unit very nice kit with braided line and all. they also have a return kit but i found that it could be made from home depot fittings. <p>http://www.jgstools.com/turbo/
