Basically build your own with simple fittings, etc.

could you use brake line and bend it for a nice custom look to the turbo and then just use regular lines for the gravity feed drain?

Yes 1/4" brake line works great! Also SS gas pipe from the hardware store works good for a oil drain line.

The drain should be -10 to ensure good flow, trans cooler line will be too restrictive.

yes, -10 for T3 and T4 turbos. -12 for the big boys. any hose that can withstand heat and oil will work.
