edit: Further update
Had a bit of a nightmare over the last few months.
So we had a new turbo built. It has some very fancy wheels.
however being brand new, when it was first fitted it had a very loud high pitched whining which was not normal upon initial installation.
we had it rebuilt (again, for a new turbo!) and the balancing was so far out the balancing machine that it cut off. seems like in soviet russia, turbo balances you.
it was balanced and came back, the noise was gone but it was chugging out a lot of smoke (this is oil / white smoke , not black from fuel). this is with a 1mm oil restrictor as well

So we had to have it rebuilt AGAIN. 3rd time lucky. And a lot of wasted hours for Bobby taking him away from other projects and family time.
this time by an old friend of Bobbys was brought in, who have to say did a really good job and it is much better now.
Now it was sorted we also plumbed in water cooling, and wired up a sensor to measure turbo shaft speed and got that working with factory inputs.

After a lot of tuning work from Bobby we went to Surrey Rolling Road, unfortunately it so happened to be the hottest day of the year yesterday 18th April with ambient temps between 20 and 25c
Nevertheless the end results were 395hp and 660nm torque. Very happy.
