Turbo issues

Yes mate probably everyone at some stage. Usually caused by the crank case ventilation plumbing oil mist back into the intake pre turbo.
The factory hose clamps are as weak as piss and should be replaced with something stronger.

You can add an oil catch can to help. Remove the inlet pipe and give it a good clean then beef up the clamps.

Search Provent, EGR blanking and Turbo Intercooler for hours of informative reading on the subject.
One day your life will flash before your eyes. Will it be a good show ???
