i bought this sandwich thingy that screws on the bottom of the oil filter, befor the filter(this product is use it for a oil cooling system,i think) can i just use it as a oil feed and return if i can get the right fittings for it to fit the turbo?

if i did run it that way will it run good?

Feed, maybe, but a T off the sending unit is the tried-and-true way. Post a pic of what you're talking about or a link to one.

It won't work for return. The turbo is going to be hanging lower than the filter, so if you were to run a line out of the turbo and over to the filter, the oil will fill the line and rise back into the turbo before any of it starts to drain back into the system. Once oil enters the turbo, gravity is the only way out.

IMO, might as well use it for feed unless you already have a sending unit adapter.

Negative, FWD SR20DETs use a different oil pan setup that necessitates return via a drill and tap on a boss on the bottom of the block just above the oil pan. The oil level in the pan is just too high to drain into a pan tap. Reducing the amount of oil in the pan is too risky in terms of oil starvation.
