Hmmm...
New BNR turbo, very few miles (under 300)
Was out a few nights ago and the car ran wonderfully. Boosted fine, no lack of power. Was going HAM!
Today I was redoing some things in my car and I had to remove some of the piping at the turbo. When I took off the silicone elbow at the turbo outlet, it had a very thick oily sludge on the entire inside. I wasn't that slick, more like a sticky sludge.
There was no oil in the piping immediately after. Worried, I looked into the turbo outlet with a flash light and it was bone dry and spotless. Also the inlet was clean if that matters at all.
I don't know what this is, where it came from or what it means.
Any ideas?

monitor it weekly, i think your fine, wipe it clean and drive the car normally fo a few days. then check. if nothing try driving it a lil harder and find out if the oil seal is damged or probably still seating. i have a hybrid that did that and now its fine after seating properly
