sounds like the problems lie somewhere else. i would agree that it sounds more like turbo seals! Inspect these before you look to the motor for answers

 

Any oil in the downpipe?

 

Do a leakdown test. My compression was within 10psi in all 4 cylinders. Yet all 4 pistons had some type of ringland damage.

 

ringland damage will show oily smoke coving from the valvecover breather.............alot

 

No oily smoke but with the cap off it does sound like it is pressurized. Is that normal? The turbo is new but i used an ssautochrome manifold and it make the return line long and flat in a spot so i think that might be my prob.
