Default Got my engine, oil in turbo, what do?

When resealing the engine the back turbo has a lot of oil in it, not much shaft play but a ton of oil. Is this most likely the turbo itself or something to do with the return?

Check for shaft play in and out, not side to side. My 1jz turbos felt fine side to side, but after pulling them due to noise, the front turbo had very noticeable in and out play. Oil in the compressor can also be caused by blow by and or pcv issues. How does the turbo intake piping look before it gets to the compressor? Wet with oil, or dry?

You blew your seals on your turbo, you may be able to buy the kit to repair it yourself or your other option is ditch the twins and go single, that's what most supra guys do
