Post pictures of your feed and return lines. You "went out and got another turbo"? From where, exactly? Are you using any kind of restrictor?

is it possible to have to much oil going to the turbo

Images that aren't even showing on my computer...granted, the formatting looks right, so it might just be my work network blocking them, which is seems a little schizo about doing

haha I was thinking the same thing and ghetto as hell. Get some nice braided lines and do it right. Oil would be blue smoke, coolant is white

If you're burning a large amount of oil, it will also be white. The main tell is the smell. I guarantee his is oil smoke lol. It may just be the pictures, but it doesn't even look like there's a drain either...

So, those pictures you posted show the feed line (which looks like you cut up some garden hose, what the ****), and your water line (which also looks like cut up garden hose, also, what the ****), but not your return line. Get some real lines on there, and you still need to post a picture of your return line. Given the uh...attention to detail, I'd bet it's all sorts of fucked up.
