Headers and up pipe?
16mm heater hose is perfect. Fasten it to the turbo first then when you drop the turbo into her hole the oil drain will be sat on the hard pipe attatched to the block. With a bit of a wiggle and a poke with a screw driver you should be there.

so take the hose with 2 clips on off the block and put it on the turbo 1st then try get it to sit onn the hard pipe on block yea? but how u see if it even close to the hole it goes quite far down?
For me personally i wouldnt have put it back together in the order you have. Nothing wrong with what youve done.
My take is that you all ready have the up-pipe fitted. headers to? If you fit the turbo first without the up-pipe in place it allows more movement and all there is to worry about are the oil return pipe and the air intake pipe. everything else can be built up around the turbo already in place. i assume you trying to do the oil return,intake pipe and get the up-pipe studs all lined up all at once?

Yep that's it all at once Pete come over we did few bits but couldn't quite get oil return on it sittin on it just not in it lol. On YouTube they make it look so easy takes seconds lol
Lol, yep that oil return pipe is a bugger, took me ages to get it on, like 4hrs in total, i can take the engine out quicker, and thats what i'll do next time if it won't go on after 10 mins.
Extreem turbo fitting, should be a sport like the lumberjack races

The oil pipe in the picture is held in place by two sprung wire clips that can be moved into position using apair of long nose pliers (bent)
Fit pipe to turbo drain stem, plenty oil and clip on bottom end but clip half way up the rubber pipe with plent lube on the bottom end. The pipe will slide over the male fitting as the turbo is dropped down into position. Long nose pliers to locate spring clip.
Oil is not under pressure but gravity fed. HTH.
The problem is not usually fitting the new inlet tract but removing the old. You may resort to hammer and chisel or if you are a rock ape a screwdriver and hammer. Smash up the old one to get it out of the tight space. The silicon repalcement is pliable and can be fitted usually without lifting the I.M.
As harvy says getting the old one out is a right laugh.................NOT.
Hammer, chisel, screwdriver, crow bar and tin snips for me. + a packet of **** and a 12 pack.
Have fun.
