Default Turbo feed/return lines

My Turbo kit came in and im so enthused to get it into the car. THis is my frist time turbo charging a car I have put a super charger b4 but no turbos. One question is on a sohc ZC engine (Same as american D16a1) where is a good place to tap my oil feed and to put my oil return lines on this engine?

The oil return can be tapped from the oil pressure sensor (as mentioned) or you can use a oil filter sandwich adapter that has threaded ports for you to use for oil feed and gauges.

The return line is gravity fed, so it needs to go directly from the turbo into the oil pan without going back uphill.
