Here is my downpipe pic.. i will say you will have to move the coolant lines to the heater core out of the way by cutting them and extending them longer out the way for the downpipe. My 2.5" piping barely fitted. The downpipe is in 3 sections connected by V-band flanges/clamps. It is really tight to snake back there for clearance.

My oil return line was custom made stainless hose at my local hose/fitting store. Its -10AN size. I would remove your oil pan and weld in a 1/2" NPT bung to the oil pan rather than your idea of drilling a hole and tapping the pan.

Just a question like that,dont we need pressure in the oil to cool the turbo??I mean,is there pressure in the oil pan during engine run?!?
