oil out the back could mean a number of things, leaking valves, rings, blowby. Check for oil in the exhaust piping just after the turbo.

Re:i think my turbo is shot

I think the same thing happened to my t25. I still have 180 all the way across, but it don't pull as hard as it did. I noticed something was wrong when I checked my oil and found metal particles in it. But the motor does not knock. and I still has good compression. I still have not found the problem or solution, or even drove the car.I don't know if there's oil in the downpipe.
