One tip of advice would be to put the oil and coolant lines on the turbo first, before attaching the turbo to manifold, and then manifold to head.

And make sure you have them tightened and pointing in the right direction.

I put on a stainless steel line into the top of the turbo, and after putting everything together and starting her up, oil leaked out of that line (it was faulty, i got a free replacement).........but it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to get to that line with the turbo on the car. so get those lines taken care of first.
