I bought a kit for the turbo feed line, and it came with a nice drain line also. The coolant lines were easier to find, I just used some standard coolant hose from the local parts store, and some barb fittings from the hardware store.
For sizes and locations, do a search. There are tons of threads on this.
Depending on what year car you have (which should be in your sig) you can get oil from different places.
Coolant comes from the front by the thermostat usually.

Your questions show that you haven't put any time into searching. So I suggest you start now.

Coolant is easy, oil is not as easy. We don't know what year his car is. If it's a 1.6 or early 1.8 he can get it real handy like under the turbo, but if it's newer than he'll have to get it from the other side.

If you searched you would've found those pics. Tyson didn't just make them for you.
You obviously didn't read the https://www.miataturbo.net/forum/t4288/ thread.

In an effort to actually be helpful:
The coolant feed and return are standard and can be found at local auto stores.
You can also find your return line at local stores, as well as the fitting that goes into the oil pan at your local Home Depot.
I recommend having a stainless feed line made at the least, since it goes near the downpipe, and hold higher pressures. The fittings for the motor end of that line might also be found at HD/Lowe's with some luck, but I forget the size. The oil in/out fittings will be specific to your turbo and require:
