I think your best telling us exactly what you have and if you can some photos would be great.

You do not do anything with your oil pump. You take the oil from the oil pressure switch. You will want to T the switch back in. Then you pipe the oil to the turbo through a restructure. You have to restrict oil pressure as the MA engine runs at about twice the pressure as most turbos can. Then from the turbo drain you just put to a hole as high in the sump as you can. Then that is your oil sorted. Water is a easy one to sort.

I would look in to the price of a new down pipe off them. By the time you get the lazer cut flanges and the mandrel bends its not worth getting your tig welder out unless they really are over charging for them.
