You have water coming through your turbo? Actual water (Coolant) pouring out? As in towards the intercooler? WTF have you done if that's the case!?

Quick update, didn't have time to strip back off inlet today but noticed there was excessive coolant / water in the oil when i took out the dipstick

So I'm guessing that's the reason coolant / water is coming through my turbo ...

Hopefully tomorrow I will drop oil from sump (flush system) .. remove inlet & make sure all pipes are where they are suppose to be (clearly not now) ...... & try again fingers crossed

How do you know water came through you turbo oil feed? Doesn't sound very likely unless your oil is full of coolant. The more likely answer is you have connected a water pipe to an Inlet pipe flooding the engine through the inlet. This will pour through you valves into the heads, and into the sump. Will also ruin the oil, ruin the lubrication and possibly destroy you engine.... If that's what you have done...

Sounds like you could be right .. will have to get it checked out properly tomorrow

The car has not given any trouble before replacing the turbo intake pipe .. but clearly I have got some pipes confused

If you have flooded the engine with coolant you definitely need to completely drain the oil. Maybe even fill with oil and drain again to be sure to get it all out. Just guessing here but maybe turn the engine over with no plugs to make sure no fluid is trapped in the cylinders as that may destroy them.

Also I assume your coolant will now be very low if not empty.... So you will need to refill that and make sure there are no airlocks.

Post a pic of which pipes you have connected to what.
