i took of the intake tube that connects the turbo to the throttle and i seen some oil at the bottom of the throttle.....anyone no why the turbo would be spitting oil into the engine?? i no this is not good at all soo id like to no why soo i can get to fixing it!!!

is there a way i can fix the turbo or do i need a new one?
 


Well, not to fimiliar on turbos yet but i will try to help. I'm sure if the oil is comming from the turbo that it at least needs a rebuild. I'm sure there are some type of seals in there that could be changed out. Are you sure it is comming from the turbo and not the pcv valve area? Maybe from engine blow-by
 
Are you using the intake side of your turbo as a vaccume source for anything? For instance, I use it as a vaccume source for my crank case as you can see in the pic of my engine. Its the line going from the valve cover breather into the silicone bend.

anyways, if you do, then you are probably getting blowby out of your breather due to the high boost you run.

If not, then I would check your turbo for leaks. I have heard people say that is very easy to blow your turbo seal out when you apply to much oil pressure.

Nice engine bay...That is one clean setup. What turbo kit are you running??

Concerning the question...
You are either getting blowby from the PCV or your turbo seals are bad. Warm the car up to operating temp, shut it off, then remove the intake tube. Spin the compressor wheel and check for side to side play as well. If you have a bad seal leak, you should notice a good amount of oil build up all through the intake.
