people that I have talked to have sid that some oil is normal. If it is blowing big clouds at WOT then there probably is a problem with them. If it is just oil in the intercooler and intake lines, then it is probably normal.

I used John Craig at Limit Engineering too. Quick turn around, he knows the ins and outs of the custom incon turbo's.
Mine are rebuilt and I sometimes get some light smoke on cold startup if I don’t idle the motor for a few minits before shutoff the night before. I think the leftover oil in the turbo coke up inside and burn off the next startup. I dont have the oil cans under the turbo's. I think they give the oil some room to drain out of the turbo on shutoff. They sit low so I ditched them.
Looking into a turbo timer setup that runs the car for 3 minits and the oil pump for another 30 seconds.
