Oil leaking through the turbo via a seal and into the engine? Check connections and housing is what i would do. Do not drive.

Sounds like the turbo needs a rebuild. That's about the only way you're going to get oil in the intake tract so that it shoots out the BOV. Was it new? Warranty?

actually it might be an even simple solution. It happened to me my first oil change after the turbo install. The greddy kit has the recirculating line coming off the oil filler neck onto the back of the intake filter. When u filled the car with oil u have to make sure u dont just pour all the oil in at once or the oil trickles down the line and into your intake. This causes the oil to get sucked in through your intake manifold and out your BOV. Bet you anything your intercooler is full of oil sludge too. I took the FMIC off and washed it out with some gas. I took the line coming off the filler neck and put it to a catch can and capped off the port on the intake. I know when I did this I had tons of smoke coming out of the exhaust. It will take a little bit to clean out the intake system and you will shoot some oil out of your BOV until it all gets cleaned out. The easiest way to figure out if this is what happened is to take ur air filter off and you should see a little puddle of oil or the walls of the pipe will have a nice coat of oil on them. Let me know if u need pics. Dont procrastinate either cuz ur just dirtying up your intake manifold with sludge.

If your running stock coils. Yes. There could be an engine misfire issue.
