If I were to turbo charge a normally aspirated EJ25 engine, where would I get the oil for the turbo(s) from? Just drill a hole into an oil gallery in the head or block and thread it?
Any thoughts or experience on this?

Couple of oil pressure sources:
Use a T piece where the oil pressure sender is fed from (under the alternator) or (which is the better method) remove one of the blanking plugs from one of the oil galleries and use an adaptor the same as the oil pressure sender unit uses.
As for a return, either weld a boss onto the sump or plumb back into the low pressure side of the pump, the return on the turbo is quite important to get right, its a gravity fed return.
