Ok, SO heres everything...
Remanufactured motor, 185 miles
New 16g (unspooled ebay) turbo
Thrush bearing mod (whatever that may be)
JAM balance shaft eliminator
Everything else ... Stock...
When I first started the motor and drove it I had vaccum line for the turbo wrong and the actuator stayed closed and blew the head gasket
I replaced the head gasket and put some ARP studs in did the whole 30 60 90 torque process Just installed the Evo III oil filter housing and External oil cooler
And yet again had an oil pan damn near full of coolant, Sooo I pulled the head off, and the head gasket was still perfect, bought a new one anyway and took the Cyl. head to a machine shop, they said the head wasn't warped or cracked and looked at the head gasket and said it was even reuseable...
Now I'm stuck... I have no idea why I'm getting coolant in my oil, Nor do I have many more funds, I either need to get it right this time or get it gone...
I really need some help you guys...
Thanks,
Dylan
 
Is it possible you have the turbo lines crossed. And the coolant now drains into the oil pan and vice-versa.
 
There are just a few ways for water and oil to mix. Off the top of my head: water cooled oil cooler could be damaged/crushed, head gasket (but you said that it's good) and cracked or porous CHRA, head or block.

Good luck.
 
No to the headgasket..
At first it was getting 5 - 7 lbs of boost before stuttering and lagging
Then after I drove it more ( without a knock sensor )
It would just go to 2k rpms and stutter.
Put knock sensor in today
Still stuttering.. this time just as the boost is supposed to be hitting ( as it comes ot of vaccum range)
The vaccume is constant 20-23 at idle.
Replaced Fuel pressure selenoid
Now it just doesn't build boost...
