This is exactly true. Just because you have oil in the lines doesn't mean the turbo is blown. All of my intercooler pipes were coated in oil, but it was from my horribly shot rings causing a bunch of blow by that was getting sucked into the turbo and shot throughout the piping. I'd perform compression and leakdown tests on the motor and find out what kind of shape they're in before you go buy a new turbo...

i would like to apologise for my previous comment. it was utterly useless. in my defense, i was TOASTED. i mean, whoa. i woke up this morning with new numbers in my phone that i swear i have never called before. haha, it was awesome. go auburn!! wheoooooo!!! ok, im done.

oh, and i agree with ryan, check that compression. you dont want to spend a lot of money on a nice new turbo and have the same problem.
