Oil in intercooler piping???

Well i took my car to my tuners and they told me my car has oil in the intercooler piping what might that be? I hear a bad turbo seal but that turbo is brand new. Any other suggestions? thanks

unless there was already oil in the piping when you put it on, your turbo seals are shot.
what kinda turbo is it?

What size oil feed line did you use? How's your oil return line (no kinks?)? Also sounds to me like the turbo seal is shot.

yeah what size AN feed line are you using, no dips in your return line? you probably need to run a restrictor or a smaller feed line.

this is a none ball bearing turbo correct?
