bwuahha ha ha... you crazy man....
Anyway, locate your oil pressure sensor. Remove that sensor from the block by unscrewing it and use a "T" fitting with a 1/8 inch NPT. Use that extra connection to route your turbo oil feed.
It's a bitch to unscrew that fucking oil pressure sensor because there is no room.
Another option vice taking that sensor off is an oil filter block adapter. I'm using the GReddy version because I needed 3 taps. AC autotech make them too:

Golden Eagle:

These block adapters were designed for VTEC conversion but oil supply is its main function. The best part is that the oil will be filtered before it goes into your turbo. The extra holes can be used for an oil pressure gague and/or oil temperature gague.
Goodluck:yes:
