hey, i was really beating on the car the other night. The next morning when i went to start it up, something just felt wrong. When I rev the engine theres a hesitation, and the engine just sounds off. When i started to move the car felt kind of lopey, for lack of a better word. I pop the hood and i see that oil has come out of the intake and my catch can which was empty is now almost full. Any info on what this might be is very appreciated thankssean

check your oil level. if it's still fairly high within the acceptable range, chances are you just had too much oil in the engine

Sounds like blown turbo oil seals. Take off your hot pipe and see if you have alot of oil into the intercooler. But from the sounds of it, turbo is toasted.

check your PCV valve to make sure its good, might be allowing all the pressure to leave the T fitting into the intake pipe.

An oil catchcan properly plumbed will go from valve cover to turbo intake between maf and turbo so if plumbed right it can not be the turbo. The PCV is a good place to look also check your oil level when warmed up like scheisst indicated. Other than the pcv do a compression test it is possible you have a lot of blowby but you should notice it if it was that bad.
