um so im being retarded today, i searched and couldnt figure anything out, the oil feed for the turbo is just to the right of the oil filter correct? and on the oil pan there is the bolt for the drain, and then there is another bolt hole, what is this? i thought it was a return for the turbo but the return is on the block, so what is this hole?

and also does the coil packs ground to the mounting plate they sit on? reason i ask is because i made a bracket to relocate them above the throttle linkage and i remember there being a ground wire on the mounting plate

The only hole in the oil pan I know of is for the oil cooler return, which use's a banjo bolt.

Yep - that's it.

The coil packs do have a field ground to the plate...a wire is attached on the stock set-up on the drivers side to the block. It is not required for the packs to operate, but you do want the ground wire.

I didn't say it wasn't required, I said it is not necessary for the coil packs to operate (fire). A field ground takes care of stray voltage...think of it as a drain in a plumbing system that gets rid of excess water.
