Turboing Help Needed.

i think i've got everything i think im going to need for my turbo install on my d17a1 and just need some clarification/help.

i'm waiting on a new fuel pump and an EMS. I think im going to go with greddy e-manage. do i need the pressure sensor?

im also wondering about plumbing the turbo feed lines and return lines. i've heard the best place to run the feed line is from the Engine Oil Pressure Switch (anyone know or have any pictures of where this is located?) but that the return line has to be run above the oil, and below the turbo. so im going to have to pull the oil pan to drill for the return line right? what fittings/bungs/adapters or whatever will i need for the return line?

im extremely confused about this whole fuel thing too. all i need to do with the fuel pump is replace it right? then i will put the fuel pressure regulator spliced into and fuel line in my engine bay. before or after this fuel management unit thing?

one last thing im confused about is the vacuum lines. i think theres vacuum lines on the fuel pressure regulator, fuel management unit, blow off valve, wastegate, and boost gauge. know idea what to do with them.

this will be my first turbo install and i will have some help from guys with experience but they've never done this on a new civic, and i want to have some idea about whats going on.

Thanks
