Default 2.0 zetec silvertop turbo oil/water feed+return help

hi, im doing a 2.0 zetec silvertop turbo conversion to my mk5 zetec s, im nearly finished but need to sort out feeds and returns for the turbo,
im using a focus rs e/manifold with standard focus rs turbo
i have got a fitting for the sump for the oil ruturn and a t-piece off the oil pressure switch for the feed.

WHAT I NEED IS:
oil feed pipe from t-piece to the turbo (preferably with an inline filter)
oil return from turbo to sump fitting
i am not sure what fitting i need to get or length of hose ect so if someoune could point me in the direction of a kit available to just put together and bolt it on or parts off various cars ect would be awesome!

also if anyone knows how to run the waterfeed for this turbo would be great because i havent got a clue where i get the water suply from (thermostat housing, radiator,...)
all i know is the return can go to the expasnsion bottle, same again with this question, if you could get a link with fittings i will need ect will be much appreciated,

as much info on these questions would be great! i really need to get this conversion finished and this is the only thing holding me up.

thanks alot, rich.

You can use standard ERST lines, probably the cheapest option.

Your best bet would be a local hydraulic fittings shop. For an old project I had some braided lines made to spec pretty cheap.

Try checking ebay for the standard FRS hoses, sure there is a shop selling them on there. If not the ERST ones should fit.

Mines a mk4 zetec turbo with t3, heres what i did:

Oil feed - standard erst oil turbo feed.

Oil return - had an ally return pipe welded high up on sump. Then had the erst metal oil return pipe extended to the sump pipe. Join the 2 pipes with short as poss length rubber oil hose, i used 19mm braided mocal hose.

Water feed - chopped into the hose between rad & thermostat housing, added ally t peice then ran samco hose to water feed.

Water return - standard erst water return (to water pump side of rad).

Hope that helps.
