Oil lines
Ok, first of all, you have to remove your oil pan. All you have to do to do this is....
drain all of your oil, remove all of the bolts/nuts from around your oil pan, and use a flathead screwdriver and gently pry the pan away from the block.
now that your pan is out of the car, drill the hole with the drill bit that matches the size of the oil drain line. Now, take it to a welder (of it you can weld) and have the drain line welded into place. Re-install your oil pan, and use the aeroquip line to hook the drain line from the turbo to the drain line on the pan.
Here is the mark where you have to drill

Rep Power: 326 forget banging... use a pry bar. go to the driver side of the car, you can see a lip that sticks out off the pan. wedge the bar between the lip and the metal above it. spent a whole night and broke 2 screwdrivers (gently pry it off my a**!). using the pry bar it took all but 5 minutes. 
hopfully you have it off by now. suggestion, use red silicone sealant before u put the pan back on. scrape off all the old crap off the pan and reseal with the red silicone. you won't ever have to worry about an oil leak... i had a leak, did the silicone thing, not a drop since! plus it's only like 4 bucks for all you need (pep boys or auto zone)

Rep Power: 0 yo thsi is teh easiest way i didnt even use a ****ing pry bar so i bougth it for nothing, well, stand in front of teh car, make sure u took all the bolts off the shift linkage, and all that ****, well stand in front, now turn ur car wheel, to the left, all the way left, ok now go back to the front, and get on ur knees, u see u will be able to see the oil pan if u bend down by the tire, since the tire is turned all the way, well take a good heavy duty flat head screw driver, and a hammer, n rigth on teh corner of the oil pan there should be like a space to wedge the flat head in well put it there and hit it with the hammer, make it go in, in between the crack of teh engine and oil pan, well hit it and hit it, and when the flat head is in then pry it off man, pops rigth down, mad easy
