Two things.
One you could be getting alot of oil from your crankcase breather if it is vented to your compressor inlet piping like it should be. You can use a catchcan to catch that oil vapor. Otherwise your turbo seals are shot and you're looking at a turbo rebuild which you could do yourself with the FAQ DIY writeups on here and a kit from Gpopshop.com. Try to clean all the oil out, then either VTA the crankcase or run a catch can to see if that is your problem, if that's not the problem then you know it's your turbo seals.
