i've been told that this builds up the pressure more in my engine - is this why the oil leak has got worse.

sorry if i'm being a bit dumb and blonde, but i don't know and grant isnt around to ask!

No removing the centre box will REDUCE back pressure, which may cause the turbo to leak oil from the thrust seal if sufficiently reduced.
