Default Oil poured straight into my compressor inlet, am I screwed?

Running a boosted B16 and shot my dipstick out and poured oil all over the front of my engine, some of which got into the compressor and there's now oil all in my intake manifold and intercooler piping. Is it just a matter of cleaning everything up or should I just give up now and start parting out what I can. I do not have the resources to rebuild the engine if thats the case.

I would say your bigger concern is the crankcase pressure high enough to push the dipstick out, what are you running for pcv ventilation? clean the oil out of the intake and pipes and do the best you can with the compressor but I wouldnt spray to much solvent into it, replace the plugs if they are fouled and see how she does....you have to vent the crankcase better.....or you have blowby issues

he'd right buddie, get your crankcase pressure issue sorted out. A little oil in your turbo is the least of your concerns.
