Is this a duplicate post.....i thought this got discussed already...
Your turbo has a blown seal on the compressor side. If i recall you have a star turbo kit and the t3/t4 will need a 360 degree thrust bearing rebuild kit.

Usually when you get oil in your compressor side its because of the compressor turbo shaft seal going bad... time for a rebuild. Whats the shaft play on the turbo like? Any comp wheel damage?

1. it's star/ turbonethics t3/t4 2. from the oil pressur sensor...it's the line that came with the kit 1/4" maby? stanless line 3. it's 5/8 return with plenty of room to flow the hoe for the return is as close to the top of the pan as i could get it as well..
why!?
