theres a billet block on the oil bypass just above the filter.... with a 1/8NPT to-4AN 90* fitting, then it comes up, and across under the TB to the guage, and into the turbo...

Is that pretty much where everyone gets the oil from?

Where are you returning the oil at? Drilled a hole in the passenger's side oil pan? Is just returning it to the passenger side head thru the oil fill a viable option?

no. I didnt. no motor trouble thus far. I will note the front of the truck was on jackstands and oil was coming out of the hole when I drilled it. A little messy but didnt pull the pan.
