before condemming the poor little turbo, remember the oil breather system from rocker cover and crankcase, vents into the turbos intake pipe, which in turns blows the oily fume throughout the intake charge pipe system
check the TIP... bet its oily

turbo inlet pipe, the pipe that goes from maf, to the turbo.
Definately would also hold up condeming the turbo.

what procedure would u try then lads basically ive had the intercooler off and pipes visually checked and replaced a few perished pipes in the pcv system done a oil n filter change etc all the basic stuff just stook after tht as im 80% sure the turbo seals have gone
if its just oily on the surface nothing to worry about, all cars do that. if its proper thick or your finding drips/ puddles of it you have a problem
