Default Oil in turbo

I have a drag 3 kit on my 00 si. And sum how wen i pull the air filter off there is oil laying on the compressor side of the turbo inlet. and my blow off valve blows out a little oil and in the cupling after the intercooler there was a ton of oil. i dont think this is normal and i have no idea what the problem could be.

Your turbo is blown. There could be 4 causes:

1) Your feed line is not restrictive enough.
2) Your drain line is too restrictive.
3) Your turbo is crap or just wore out.
4) Some combination of the above.

The return on your oil pan could be too low. I had the same problem... rewelded the port and pointed it up (after 8 freakin months)... and now more oil in my charge pipes.

i dont thin its blown because it still spools and boosts great. Everything is good but there is just oil in the charge pipes. My oil feed wasnt long enough so it goes over the block not around the side. and my oil return leaks a lil. how would i know if it was blown? Its only like 3 months old though, T04E
