I thought all turbos do it as when you get a boost leak you know by oil on the pipe.  :undecided:

I would say loads of water hitting the turbo spining flat out might damage it.The engines more at risk from damage. My car had it worse full boost in 4th and loads of oil from intercooler went in inlet .Iv never seen so much blue smoke out the back and lost all power and ticked over like sh!t. Good tip: never fill oil to max or get a oil catch can.   :wink: half way only now.  :rolleyes:

water going into the inlet kills the turbo as it unbalances the blades, trust me this is speaking from experience fitting water/methanol on the inlet on my Evo.

Yeah they all pass a bit but depression the amount of oil
If your performer is suffering and there is loads of oil the. It could mean the seals are leaking

Sorry mate, we have been over it once not speaking about it again but that is one experience doesn't mean that happens 100% of the time
I know people who have sucked water into the engine without killing the turbo lets just leave it at that.
