its normal... as long as your not blowing smoke thats when the turbo blows... but the blow by on a turbo car is normal... i had oil on my cold side intercooler piping... not much but the oil was there..

..and upgrade your clamps to T-bolt or this will happen again and again and again and again... Believe me, I'm talking from experience.

i've had worm clamps on my car for a year and 3 months with a trifecta tune at 22-23 psi and mine have never blown off. I do recommend T-bolt clamps but until mine blow off they are not needed for me
