lower radiator pipe which side is that on, take it the header tank is the round tank just above the maf ?and do i fill the whole system up till its halfway up the round tank, then run the engine to get it round the system then fill the header tank accordingly or is it once ive filled it till half way the system is full and there is no bleed nipple?
Only one lower pipe and its on the right hand side, looking at the car. Fill the header, squeeze the pipes, keep filling then run the car and squeeze the pipe. You'll find yourself then putting another few hundred ml's over the next few runs out.
If you don't mind me asking, I presume someone else is fitting your turbo?? As if you need ask these questions your going to have a whole lotta fund trying to fit a turbo!! Their a pain in the arse at the best of times, not to mention this priming the oil system, getting out pressure and just trying to get the old one off.

dont you get the oil up to pressure again by just turning over the car with out the ecu in or injectors in?
Just un-plug the injectors, but you still need to prime the turbo prior to any fitting / whilst fitting.
how do you prime a turbo prior to fitting, its not connected to the car to get oil in the lines!!!
You've got the oil feed and return on the turbo, fill them with oil it aids the lubrications whilst your building up pressure in the system. The turbo will start turning the moment you turn the key, without been primed it'll be running dry for a few seconds this is enough to cause damage!!
What turbo you fitting a fluid bearing turbo or roller bearing??

see these are the little things i need to know, and the atp turbo install instructions do not tell you this i will be fitting a gtrs eliminator, is there any other important things i need to know before the install!!!
Yeh make sure you have a second car to use and a lot of patience... not to mention a grinder if I remember rightly. Best person to speak to would be Hooch as he's fitted the GT28RS he'll know the little turbo specific mod / pain in the arses you need to do.
lol second car im bookin a week off work to get this done looked at some vortex sites aswell got some good pointers off there but most of the people said its quite easy to do i have prepared most things cos im having to wait for my turbo delivery!!! for example shaved the bottom left corner off mani, just little things like that
On this topic -- Are there any specific coolants people recommend or will SEAT stuff do? I know the toyota forlife coolant was pretty good in that respect.
