Is this a freshly swapped engine? New turbo? Used turbo?

Did you check out the turbo before you put it in? A couple things to look for are shaft play (basically if you can move it much in any direction it's not a good thing) just stick your fingers in, grab the shaft and try to wiggle it around, pull it, and push it a bit (not too hard though). If it moves a lot then thats not a good thing. Also, clean out your intake tract really well then drive around, if you are getting a LOT of oil in the intake tract then the turbo is also bad. There's a lot of other things it could be but as long as it's not those two then you know the turbo is probably good still.

Boost leak? I got around 19-21 mmHg of vacuum when idle. Check your plumbing

how are your oil return lines?

is there excessive heat after a long drive? do you have an external or internal wastage? Check it for leaks.Any exhaust leaks from the manifold?
