btw: at a guess,... the reason you had to cut webbing appears to be because the turbo needed to bolt up in the other direction.
ie, intake towards pully side of engine (or #1 cyl)
Yeah we did try that, but that gave you about two inches of space between the turbo's exhaust outlet and the radiator 
So not only can you not fit a decent exhaust, all the heat is going to soak into the radiator

Just a quick update
Had to buy an external wastegate because we couldnt use the internal on the turbo, that has since been plumbed up and we painted/polished the intercooler piping just to make the engine bay look a bit nicer. Everything is now finished, but have now found another problem..
The turbo needs to be rebuilt, started the car today for the second time since the oil drain was fixed and its smoking when the turbo spools up unfortunatly, there is also oil in the charge pipes. The turbo doesnt have much shaft play at all, 1mm side to side, so I might just change the seals and see how I go.
Other then that, the turbo spools up very early and is quite loud too! It has changed the car completly, money well spent, until I decide to sell it, lol.
Annd thats about it, more fuken set backs

you may need to restrict the oil feed into the turbo.

definetely... this is something that's been popping up a lot more lately than before it seems. Hondas make too much oil pressure for what the turbo would like to see, so it's blowing oil past the seals.

Yeah its something I will try, meh

should be easier/cheaper than rebuilding, and rebuilding and still running really high oil pressure oculd still cause the same problems
-
How much does the pressure have to be reduced by? 50%? 30%?

most garret turbos seem to like about 35 psi
I personally have one of these on my T3

So basically all i have to do is get a restrictor that is 1/16" and screw that on my oil line.
Thats quite a big difference as to what would be flowing through it now
EDIT: It seems very debatable (At least on Honda-tech) about using an oil restrictor. General opinion seems to be use a restrictor for a BB turbo only..
Remember I am only using a Nissan T3
