Default Thoughts on turbo rebuild?? or other problem...

Whats going on guys? Im running a b18c with a AFI bottom mount turbo kit and a BW s362. I just last month sent my turbo back to Borg Warner to be rebuilt (3/1910). He told me both sides "touched down" so he said what they did was give me a brand new turbo and just put my original compressor cover on it. I've literally driven the car 15 times since putting it back on. And i mean just driving to work, not even dragging it. I added a catch can and thought it was overflowing and spraying oil everywhere. When really my blow off valve was spraying the oil everywhere. I pulled the filter off of my compressor housing and it was clean as can be. So i pulled my charge piping off the left side of my intercooler and find unburned oil pooled in the bottom of the intercooler. Correct me if i'm wrong, but the only possible way for this to happen is from the turbo right? What would make this happen to a brand new turbo? I'm using a -10an return with no kinks. (exact same oil setup i used on the previous turbo before rebuild for 2 seasons) I'm just very confused how this could happen so quickly. Any thoughts or comments would be great...
