AH.. One of the main culprits of the destruction of these bad boys over time. The wicked two step prep at the drag strip.. Question: How many seconds are you staying on it (on average) before you get out of it at the "tree?"
However. If its been 3 years, that means that until recently, everything has been good.
NOW would be a good time to get those pictures of the issues.

the CHRA is the turbo, for all intents and purposes. check out the GTX stuff, it will fit your housings. i was pretty close to getting the GTX turbo myself.

IMHO, you'd be going backwards going that route. I'm just sayin'.

Re: is my turbo done ?
forsure the turbo will need to be replaced tho ? or could it just be a bad return line or to much pressure ?

Re: is my turbo done ?
Again, if you've used the correct equipment in the previous years, and nothing else has been changed or used. It hard to say. Even Garrett couldn't answer that. Is it pooling oil or just residue? Which restrictor are you using? is it just residue in the inlet or anywhere else? How's the intercooler piping? Anything there? How are you eliminating crankcase pressure? That too, is key.
There's a lot you have to show and relate to any professional to determine if the turbo is shot. So a video or multiple pictures can help. But there are a lot of questions that need to be answered first

Re: is my turbo done ?
okay hopefully i can get a picture of it all today
only thing that changed this year was the return line as old one rubbed on the manifold and sprung a leak . so new one is in there im hoping the return line is wrong .
and there was ALOT of oil in the side . the restrictor i forget what one but i got it from b&r fitting when i got all my line and what not for that turbo.
this was a pooling oil looked like . im hoping to get the piping off and see ill hopefully get pictures for u guys asap .

Re: is my turbo done ?
If there is a chip in the compressor wheel I would be taking everything apart to try and find it. My guess is its wedged in the intake side of your intercooler.
Also a chip means at least the compressor wheel is bad. You can just swap the compressor wheel but it would need to be balanced. That is if you can fix the oil issue.
If you have to swap the compressor I would swap to a GTX compressor wheel and housing.
The CHRA exchange program through garrett is awesome! Let us know what they tell you.
