look at my oil after 16g install and some idle time

i thought it was frothed up from overfilling but this oil looks shitty

is that coolant in my oil?

is my turbo letting coolant in ?

Looks like it might be coolant to me.
Did you make sure you tightened down all the lines good? Dont see how the turbo could make coolant get in your oil though.
 
When was the last time you changed your oil? How long have you driven your car after the install? Is the oil in that pan thinner then regular oil? It is possible that you have a blown head gasket.
 
the turbo was spewing coolant into my oil because of a machine shop ####ing up a tap job for the oil return line bolts

i capped off the lines and its all good now

after flushing 20 quarts of oil through
 
damn 20 quarts? That is alot of oil and alot of $. Well hope everything works out, and you should make the shop pay for the oil and stuff since they fugged it up.
 
i flushed $30 of mobil1
$5 of supertech
$5 of supertech

and finally $10 of castrol syntec

bleh!
