Get a ebay sandwich plate for oil. Then look up the hyperspeed coolant reroute running coolant lines as according to that. Alternatively, get a used stock radiator with green end tanks and tap into that. The green plastic is easier to drill. A barbed fitting from home depot installed as low in the oil pan for the oil return. Use the clear plastic tubing they sell in the plumbing section with it so you can see the oil return from the turbo. Affix with zip ties, hose clamps add weight.

There's no need to water cool turbos. That's only for race cars.
Most T25 turbos are "closed loop oiling", so just get some bolts from home depot, plug the lower hole, fill with gear oil, and then plug the top hole!
