Where are you getting the oil for the turbo?
I read what I could find on setting up a turbo on a 200 but did not find where the oil feed is taken from. I assume the port for the oil pressure sender would be the spot
 
Yeh, just tee off the oil pressure outlet at the rear of the block. A small line is OK, as the turbo doesnt need much oil flow. I would use a flexible line that is heat resistant. Drain is important, it must go into the sump above the oil level and needs to be IMO no less than 13mm ID. You could go in through the fuel pump hole if your not using it. You must have a good crankcase breather arrangement so that the crankcase never has pressure, otherwise the turbo cant drain and oil will overflow into the compressor housing.
 
Turbo and/or Supercharger :
,
oil pressure sending unit block port on the Mav' 250 supercharger is busy with original 'idiot lite' unit, Oil pressure safety cutoff switch for elec. fuel pump , mechanical oil pressure gauge and the 1/4" oil feed line to the supercharger. ( with air line 3 way splitter )

.
setup uses 3/4" oil return hose to oil pan return port below block fuel pump boss. ( hi press./temp hydraulic hose )

.
Crankcase pressure under boost is handled by a Fuel pump boss blockoff plate with large hose to oil separator/condensor/catch-can. Two large hoses from valve cover go to another can.

Previous turbo 250 had oil line from pressure sense port and return to Valve Cover.

If you get the oil from the rear oil port, you should put a non-bypass small micron oil filter inline to the turbo, they sell some small inline filters for this.
But why you ask, the oil galley to the rear oil port shares itself halfway into most of the lifter's bores, any metal worn off will get in the turbo bearings. clean oil is a paramount for turbos to survive a long life.
