I did not get any instructions with my turbo kit so after looking at everything i wasnt sure about where to connect my steel braided Oil feeds or lines (i'm assuming that's what they are) from my the two spindle housings. I talked to Richey @ technosquare today and he mentioned a part i need that hooks up around the alternator...but i was pretty confused. If there is a part like that i did not get it so I'm hoping i can maybe buy it at a automotive parts store. If you guys can chime in with where to hook it up, what the part looks like, where to put the part, where i can buy it, and any pictures that would be AWESOME.
Also just to clarify, i am not referring to the oil lines that connect the spindle housing to the oil pan.
Thanks,
Alex
P.S. i can get pictures for you guys of the lines if needed.

Here's some ghetto photo shop showing the difference between the hole where i hook up my oil line to the oil pan and the steel braided line im confused about running parallel to the red photoshop paint.
In my kit they go to a block next to the oil filter, that is where the oil comes from and returns to the oil pan. I think Cheston has a diff. setup, mine might be because the block is used for a temp sensor. It is generic "manifold" type block that allows the oil lines and sensor. The pdf BrokeZ has may have diff setup then I.

Score!!!!! Thanks brokeZ!
Gringot what you described is EXACTLY what i was thinking i would need. Basically an adaptor that goes where the oil filter goes and then you attach the oil filter to the adaptor?

Actually, that would work, however, look in the manual that BrokeZ gave you and you will see a photograph of what I have, which is a metal block. I have attached the picture but it is small.

Would most automotive stores carry at least one of the above mentioned items that would work with my car? I really dont have time to wait for shipping.

I realized it would be optimal to actually run these steel braided lines to a small oil cooler - correct? That will be my first choice if i fine one like that at the automotive store i go to. This automotive store should at least have something, i mean shoot, they carry amsoil, redline, and royal purple...heh
