FD Oil Problem

As of right now I own a FD with oil going into the turbo exhaust manifold. While going back to speed, 45-> 60 all of a sudden white smoke from the engine bay and out of the exhaust. It will turn over and everything but now the turbo is flooded with oil and also the wastegate. I'm in the process of getting the engine rebuilt (88k stock miles), but what else should I look at getting to make this not happen again.

From taking the engine out and just looking at the work down a "Get it done any possible way" single turbo swap. The oil cooler didnt get upgraded, or even replaced. The Block off plates are poorly made in shop. Stock ECU, fuel components, and MAP sensor. I found out it was running 15lbs since 08 when he paid for the swap to be done at a shop that closed down.
