Default Remote mount turbo 5.2l Ram

I'm wanting to put a remote mount turbo on my 1999 Dodge Ram 5.2l. I'm just wanting to run about 5lbs of boost nothing crazy it's my DD so I still need to be able to tow with it and all that good stuff. I bought a turbo from a 1995 6.5l chevy (Detroit diesel)(found from another guy on forum) I am just completely lost on how I'm going to do fuel management under boost.

This is probably the easiest way. Otherwise megasquirt, but that's a ton of work.

For oil supply I would just use an oil filter sandwich plate. I think this one will work http://www.jegs.com/i/Moroso/710/236...d=#moreDetails, but I just did a quick google. And instead of the vortech fmu I would look into getting some bigger injectors. Don't quote me on any of this though. I'm just going by my gearhead instinct haha.

Gravity feed back to the pan above the oil level. I was trying to figure out if the return on that sandwich plate would work, but my brain is fried from school today haha.

That sandwich plate looks like it's for a remote cooler.
You just want one with a tapping to get an oil supply.
Something like this;

You can feed the turbo, and have room for oil pressure and temperature sensors.

Oops, I overlooked your doing remote mount. I think you will have to have a separate oil system for the turbo than being it's so far from the motor. Why remote mount anyway? Why not mount it right in the engine bay?
