Oil seals in the compresor side of the turbo are starting to go. Is there any oil in your exhaust?

Before you do anything, I suggest that you inspect the oil drain tubing from your turbo to make sure that it is not kinked or angled poorly. Restricted drain flow can cause the same indications.

Exactly. A kink in my return line is actualy what caused my first turbo 2 blow.
