turbo question

I JUST PULLED MY FACTORY AIR BOX OFF AND K&N FILTER OUT..
I WANTED TO CHECK MY TURBO WHEEL AND MAKE SURE ITS NOT DAMAGED AND TO INSTALL MY NEW TYMAR FILTER.. I NOTICED OIL IN THE TUBE AND SOME IN THE LIP ON THE TURBO.. I JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF THIS IS NORMAL.. ALSO I HAVE A LOT OF OIL ON MY INTERCOOLER PIPES AT THE BOOTS.. WOULD THIS BE A SIMPLE TIGHTENING OF THE CLAMPS FOR THE BOOTS??
THANKS IN ADVANCE..
TOMORROW 4" TURBO BACK, TYMAR FILTER, PILLAR GAUGES, AND DP CHIP

Yep thats normal as your crank case is vented to the intake so it collects oily residue in the turbo and intercooler.

yeah its normal but I would recomend doing the "CCV MOD" and it will get rid of that oil in the intake.

BTW ccv= crankcase vent
