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?

First thing... what turbo is it?

Second thing, where is your oil feed coming from for the turbo, and how big is it?

Third thing, how big is you oil drain line from the turbo?

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..
