The hard line on the turbo is for watercooling. Just a heads up, your 4.0 is gonna be displacing a whole lot more air than that little 16g was designed for, so eventually you'll just wear out the journal bearings and puke oil.

To make it short, to turbo a car and make it last is an investment. Not even just in internals.

A list of parts essential for a turbo car right off the top of my head are:

-Fuel pump (Walboro 255lph recommended)
-Fuel pressure regulator
-Injectors
-Air-Fuel ratio management (something like an apex-i safc or greddy e-manage)
-Wideband AFR sensor and gauge
-1 or 2 bar MAP sensor
-Oil feed line (for turbo)
-Oil drain line (you're also going to have to tap a hole in your oilpan for a fitting)
-Blow off valve

And then you have your obvious essentials like your exhuast manifold to mount the turbo, a downpipe with a bung welded in for your AFR sensor, your hotside chargepiping, intercooler, and coldside chargepiping with a flange for your blow off valve. Also couplers and clamps for all your piping connections.

It would also be a good idea to do a compression test before doing anything and then looking up the factory compression just to see if it's any shape to even have a turbo strapped to it.

There are probably some other little things I'm not remembering right now. Regardless this gives you a good idea of what it takes to turbocharge anything.
