I got that same oil line kit from trick but since our flipped manifold turbos are so far away the lines ended up being way too short. I ended up with another 18" (i think) of feed line with an AN union and a whole new return line.

I got a Trick Performance (one of our vendors on the right hand side of the page) turbo oil line kits. You wont be able to return your oil to the oil cap unless your turbo will sit higher than the cap because the oil return is gravity fed. Unless you buy a return pump, but I see that being entirely unnecessary. Im guessing the reason you wanted to do it this way is because you don't want to tap the oil pan, well an easier alternative would be to just tap the bottom of the front timing cover and put your return line there.
