turbos blowing to much oil?

Does anyone have twin turbos that blow so much oil that they coat the insides of the rotor housing, the rotors and the sparkplugs so much that the car runs poorly and stalls?

Just for peace of mind some oil should be inside the intake ducting, but it should be a minimun amount. Back to the main question when Mazda designed the twin turbos for the FD the bearings for the turbos had a drawback of passing oil by them that reason being the seal that they used. Oil viscosity had a big player in oil passing threw the bearings as well and my resourses of that statement i read in the RX-7 book written by Jack Yamaguci, the book is titled RX-7 Mazdas legendary sports car. The turbos are really shot when you leave a smoke screen behind you like 007 or spyhunter while your driving. Hope that helps you!!!!!
