Cheers guys, sadly it's one of those turbos that can not be rebuilt. Well so I keep being told.

Right well today I snapped out of my sulk put the car back on axle stands and turbo is now out.

There was oil in the oil way when I took it off and there was water coming out of the water feed pipe, so from that side of things all is good. I will be shipping the turbo off to be assessed, not repaired. Defiantly bearing issue (even though I knew that before I took the turbo out)

Here is a couple vids of the turbo on and off the car, there is a little play in the shaft but when you spin the turbo you can hear the bearing. So wondering if oil restrictor was wrong.

Turbo Dynamics said they will assess the turbo for free and will ship it back to me to see if we can figure out if it was just coincidence as the turbo is just so old.
