Alright so I've been stuck for the past hour trying to find the oil drain holes where the turbo oil lines screw into the block. Searched for some pics here and on tt.net which helped me get the passenger side together but I'm not completely sure on the driver side lines. So what I'm asking is can someone post a picture of the lines tapped into the block, preferably for the driver side. Need something to ease my nerves....blehhh
PS: This is on a JSPEC block so I'm not sure of the difference, if any (doubtful).
-Thanks in advance, D.

Example: Something like this but showing more clearly where the lines run. (like line running underneath the compressor bracket)

Here are a few pics of my block... I didn't get a clean shot of the driver's side oil feed line going straight into the block, but here is also a write up from Z1:

You are correct in assuming that the line taps into the block right under the compressor bracket. The only difference that the JDM block has is a second oil pressure sensor mounted on the stock driver's oil feed line... which you will be deleting if you are using SS braided lines. The passenger's line is really easy to see.
