Yes...there is quite a bit of piping routed in the engine bay...but I really apprecite the attention to important everyday factors...
the ability to not have to relocate the washer-fluid and coolant sealed teh deal for me.
not to mention the torque!!!

The oil return is directly into the oil in the pan. In a gravity feed the preferred method is to always dump the oil from the turbos ABOVE the oil level. I know it works and has worked for several people. I just still scratch my head as to how more people aren't experiencing backed up oil in the bearing cartridge.. oh well just another mystery of life I guess.
the actual amount of oil going to the turbo is minute, and the large size of the return allows for almost all of it to drain back through without backing up at all.

So far, it hasnt been an issue for us.

Thats understood but at least on the APS pan there is not oil already in the location the dump is trying to feed the used oil too. Its free falling into empty sapce.

Not necessarily. The lower oil pan is almost always full to the brim, if not always full.
Very nice. Intercooler is one piece, earlier pics that floated around showed two, if I am not mistaken. How is the tube from the intercooler to the engine intake routed into the engine compartment?
