Question General turbo question

I would post this in the turbo forum, but you never get replys over there. Anyways, I am building a turbo system for my fox mustang. I was wondering if I should put the mass air meter on the inake side of the turbo, or the pressure side? Also, instead of removing my oil pan and welding in a bung for the oil drain line, can I just make a custom threaded adapter and run my line into the front drain plug on my pan? My plug is on the front of the pan about a half inch up from the bottom. I was just wondering if the oil would still drain out of the turbo if the end was below the oil level in the pan. Thanks for all the help.

Kyle
