Hi everybody making this post cuz I was curious if anybody could provide me images of where they routed the oil drain / return bung for a turbo setup I plan on putting the turbo near the valve cover on the passenger side. Leaning towards using reversed Magnum manifolds. If anybody could provide their configuration in any respective photos I'd really appreciate it thank you everybody.

You'll want it at least 1/2" in diameter to pass the frothed up lube oil and a >=30 degree dump to the oil pan. The driver side is a better place to dump as the crank is rotating across the dump as opposed to flinging oil up into it on the passenger side. This is per the Holset HX40 manual.

I used an electric fuel pump, so that left the stock mechanical pump location available.
I used a block off plate and tapped it for a pipe thread return fitting.
 
You should have open realistate on the other side of the timing cover,I drilled and tapped a spot on the drivers side for a return as well.

I plumbed mine into the oil pan, passenger side. Right up front. I’ll post a pic
