The stock oil return configuration is basically 2 45s.  One at the turbo, one 
at the block.  That could certainly work.  If cost is an issue, you can also 
buy 2 return fittings that are simply nipples that mount to the bottom of the 
turbo, and the side of the block.  They are the same part for both ends.  They 
are straight fittings, to which you can simply clamp on high temp silicon 
hose, covered with heat shielding.  This isn't a bad solution, since this line 
has no pressure, and the stainless wrap over the SS hose probably doesn't 
protect the line from heat as well as heat shield tubing.  It is cheap, and 
effective.  That's what I did just recently on an install for a friend.
