There's only two coolant lines you would have messed with on the turbo itself - a supply and a return. Is one of those leaking? It's easy not to get those on all the way, especially the return line towards the bottom of the turbo.
If it's not a loose clamp and isntead it's a split in the line, you can temporarily replace the line with heater hose until you can get the correct bent hose from somewhere like http://www.subaruparts.com .

make sure there is a crush washer under and over the banjo bolt on the coolant inlet on top of the turbo
this is usualy a mistake that happens on the first time someone replaces a turbo

Not as much as I'd like to have. I'm a little disappointed. They say its because of my Utec and if I went with a ECU flash i'd get around 15 more whp. I'm still getting a little detonation here and there...
So the dyno results were 238whp they say thier dyno reports a stock wrx at around 156whp (if I remember correctly). Not to shabby.
Thanks to Nate from SS for taking the time to dyno my car, and I have to say the staff there is VERY knowledgable and friendly.
