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

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.
