turbo over-oiling question - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hi guys, just turboed my KA with a t28 and after driving it around for a bit, it became obvious that the turbo was being over-oiled, either that or I have a blown turbo. But I bought the turbo from my friend and it was in good condition because I rode around in his car many times before he sold me the turbo. We pulled off my IC piping and there seemed to be oil in all my piping. I just had a few questions: can over oiling kill the turbo or the engine? Does oil actually get into the throttle body because it seems like it could? I parked the car and after doing some research I ordered an oil flow restrictor that will limit the oil feed line to 50 psi.
Since there is oil inside my piping and maybe even the intercooler, what is the best way to get it out? Is there something I can pour through the pipes/IC to get clean everything out?
