Well, my 7-bolt had a catastrophic problem, so I'm building up a 6-bolt and swapping it in. I still never figured out what went wrong with the 7-bolt, dealer said it was a balance shaft, but they are all fine 
Anyways, I took it all apart and I found a lot of grey sludge with the consistincy of orange clean hand cleaner...very bad for oil!! Sad thing was, it was mostly by the oil return line from the turbo :thumbdown How bad do you think this is? The turbo is about 3-4 days old and has no shaft play, but doesn't spin as freely as it did. Could this be because its been sitting without oil for 2 months, or because its f*$#ed.

I dont' know if it was there before or what, but I'll clean it all out and do it again to see if it helps.
