There's a second port availabe for oil lines which is unused on the stock trucks; you can take oil out of this one. (I think you need to tee it on the return.)

Typically you find an HT3B turbo off a Mack truck for around $400, and use that as a bottom turbo. Then a WH1C or HX-35W for the top turbo; just something with a wastegate.

Mounting I believe is usually done with a metal bracket bolted between the manifold and the head. I'm not too sure about that though...

Swank has a link in his signature to his web page. He's got a lot of pics of the twins he built on there.
