Oil in the IC piping doesn't necessarily mean your turbo's going bad. Stock twins always seem to spit out oil no matter now new(from my experience).

You'll know when your turbo's go out when you start smoking heavily from the tail pipe after warm up.

Just about any stock twin with about 10k miles on it will blow some oil.
When they really go out, they will take the teeth off the blades
Mine did..
