You might want to do a compression test.

Gas in the oil usually is a couple things: Either too rich, or your piston rings aren't full sealing.

A compression test only takes a couple of minutes and will give you a good idea of whats up with your motor.

Is this a rebuilt or really old motor? How long have you been running this motor with the turbo? What are your WOT/in boost AFRs like?

A stock coil outperforms a MSD blaster any day of the week. Trust me on this i have experience with this same thing, i was running Megasquirt2 and noticed how weak my spark was with the blaster, changed back to the OEM coil and had much better spark.

the motor was pulled from a 93 auto 240sx. mileage on the motor was about 115,XXX. i have been running boost around august this year. if i step on the gas full throttle afrs are like 11s

Yeah definitely do a compression test. Make sure you do it correctly- there are instructions available on this website if you don't know how.

Also take a good look at your spark plugs when you pull them for the job and see if the tips are black with fuel.

Is the engine missing or sputtering at all? Hows it run at idle and WOT? Any smoke or odor from the exhaust?

BTW how are you checking your oil for fuel?

oh ok cool. ya my spark plugs are white on the tips but have a slight yellow color to them? i unno if that normal or anything

no smoke or odor from exhaust

engine does sputter a little on full boost i think. like a jolt feeling, and afr go lean and back to normal. but thats only sometimes, doesnt happen all the time. i do have a lot of lag since im running the stock sr manifold and stock sr dp with stock exhaust piping.

i am just smelling the dipstick?

I'm running a Blaster SS coil, Nology wires, and NGK BKR7E's gapped at .030" and I don't have a single issue running 26-28psi.

Again, some actual setup info for you to do as you please.
