The oil return line runs from the turbo to the oil pan.
The vacuum hoses run from the fuel pressure regulator hose to the BOV and wastegate.

you didn't research this stuff prior to installing your turbo?!?!
i'd probably buy an oil line kit from stealthmode on www.homemadeturbo.com
his kits are cheap, good quality and include all you need. your going to have to drill a hole in your oil pan for the return.
also make sure to use teflon tape or pipe dope on all the oil fittings to protect from oil leaks.
although it has been done, the fpr line is really small to run your bov and your wastegate. i would run them off a bigger vac line on the mani. or atleast run the wastegate off a bigger one.
you need plastic t's and vac hose to connect these
