Maybe a little excessive but in the ballpark. Do you have oil consumption? If you're going through oil too then you might want to check for signs of leaking at the turbo shaft seals.
Well I rebuilt the turbo center section with a new wheel etc last year. No significant oil consumption but rather a leek down the back of the engine.... Both sides. Am changing the o rings under the new pedestal again too. I must have screwed that up. I used Ford o rings throughout.
If the seals aren't dumping oil then I wouldn't worry. It's just the CCV vapor accumulating. Eventually the intercooler would need cleaned but I'd bet not in our lifetimes.

I hope it's only crank case mist from the pcv system. The turbo seals are new... Hopefully I didn't screw that up. Up lll check the center section for play once I have the turbo out.
when you had the turbo apart did you do the new 360 bearing in turbo.. ?? don't use the ford oring use the o'ring from diesel oring made of viton black and brown.. well i was not able to find them on the site,, not sure what the frick is up..

I need to disconnect the flexible fuel line to the fuel bowl. Is this the correct tool?
This is the line I need to remove... But on the bowl side... I'm putting on billet plenum covers before I reinstall the turbo... It's been years since I did this

Nevermind....I was looking at the wrong line. That goes into the Hpop not the fuel bowl! Sorry.

I bought the kit from riffraff with the two long bolts and 4 black rings. Fingers crossed.
The block has yellow stains from the OEM rings but I didn't have any luck removing it last time. I don't thing that should make and difference given the sealing surface is the bottom of the turbo not the bottom of the block
I'm no expert on the turbo department but it looks fine from where I'm sitting.
This has me concerned though. You see the wetness where the exhaust housing mates to the center section, is the just from you flipping it over or does it look like it's been there for a bit?
thats fine and dandy. a turbos issue is almost always thrust bearing related, IE in and out. you can have about .020 of radial play but axial should be less that .008.

That wetness appears to have came from the sealing surface after the turbo was rolled over judging by the way it’s creeping down from the center of your circle.

Been a while since I’ve been in one but that looks very normal to me. I assume there is no in/out movement?
Yellow stain will probably remain, but should be smooth with no build up of material. The Orings seal on both the turbo and the block.
