Where do i hook the Oil & water lines?
Where do i hook the oil feed line up to? Back by the oil filter? I know i can tap the heater lines for water but which is which? whats the Top and whats the bottom? which one do i go to and from the turbo with. Thanks 
The heater lines do not matter which is which... The stock hoses are maked with and "H" and a "C" but it doesn't matter for the turbo which line goes top and bottom. One line is shorter than the other though so decide before you install them. The oil feed line comes from the sensor on the back of the oil pan, by the oil filter. The oil line in the kit is just barely long enough, and the oil return line isnt long enough... You will need to get a longer hose.
Just T off of the oil line where the oil pressure sensor is, at the back of the block. Get one of those T fittings (should be with your oil line kit) and T the sensor and the oil feed to turbo off of that.
having to customize a kit said to be made for the car... priceless 
That being said i believe you have your answers but be careful with hooking up off the sensor. It's a cheesy way to do it and some people have actually had issues with poor flow to the turbo from that line. Also there have been issues of it breaking on the nipple... it's only 1/8npt after all and once extended out due to the tee the stress of motor movement is increased.

Thanks for the help guys!!!!!!
We may have to mod the kit a bit but atleast its still only half the price.
But hey like i say you also get what you pay for. For a amatuer go with RRM kit. We'll see how this one turns out after we tune it. Hey boe, you think the E-manage would be a easy way to tune this car. I dont want to go stand alone.

my reasons:
1)if you werent an amatuer, then why ask questions?
2)a true knowledgeable person, would have done a custom job

Emanage should work fine as long as it's connected properly and tuned correctly. With the injector/timing harnesses at a minimum.
When you think about it though... you've saved some cash only to spend it on the emanage... then dyno time for tuning... and some spend on tweeking the kit in. In the end you still have a kit that may not be reliable. Just take things slow and keep the boost down until your sure of the tune and the car's abilities to handle the setup you've went with.
Good luck.
