So im almost finished with my turbo and I can't get the oil line with a bolt through it to go where it needs to be. Anyone have any experience with this? Also when I get finished up any advice/procedures to oil up the turbo? Or just make sure the filter is primed? Any advice would be appreciated.

are you talking about the banjo bolt on the oil feed? iirc best way to oil the turbo is to pour a little oil in it and spin the shaft a couple times then pull the efi fuse, and crank the car till you get oil pressure.

I had the same difficulty you are describing with the oil feed line. the easy way to do it, is to loosely fasten the lines to the bottom of the turbo, then the oil feed line will be loose enough to move into position. Install banjo bolt into feed line, then tighten the nuts on the block return line, then tighten the nuts connecting the lines to the bottom of the turbo. (This is kinda a PITA, just use a 1/4" ratchet with a 6in. extention, i believe the nut size is 8mm, but I can't remember.)
