Be prepared for some cursing.
The oil return line is an absolute bitch to get on. It plugs into the engine hole with an O-ring. The best way I've found to install it is to put the O-ring on the tube about halfway to the flange. Put the tube into the hole in the engine, then with a screwdriver gently push the O-ring in to the hole. Be sure that it doesn't slip off the end of the tube as your doing it. Once it's in push the tube until it seats all the way in. Then connect the other end to the turbo. If you are the luckiest guy in the world the screw holes will line up. If you're only as lucky as the rest of us you'll be there forever. Best thing to do is enlarge the screw holes in the flange on the tube before you even get started. That will give you the little bit of play you'll need to get the screws started. Don't even attempt to do this from the top of the car. Jack the car up and do it from beneath.
