Well to go along with fitting the fp turbo went down the route of sourcing aftermarket hoses for the oil, water pipes came with which was handy.. Had looked into what I would need.. Got that very useful guide posted on here about the differences. Although I found you could fit the evo 8 oil hoses to a 9 turbo shell. The feed in is tight but it works. Tested it before running in the hel hose kit 
bought the hel option on the good advice that its better to run from the filter hosing as it will supply the turbo with enough oil for the journal bearings. Didn't want to find out the hard way if this was turn or not :razz:
Thought I had damaged the return pipe while swapping the turbos over so went for the return kit they offer.. Still think it could of been the gasket and didn't want to fit my spare stock return pipe.
pretty pleased with how the fitting when so few pics, was dark by the time I finished tonight
So all back together and hopefully tight enough will soon see tomorrow when I cover the floor with oil lol
