started my car 2day after swaping in an SR engine and drove it around, i looked into my exhaust pipe and there was a bunch of black burnt oil, i had a lot of shaft play on my turbo could this be the reason?? im pretty sure that my piston rings are fine because my compression # were good, does anyone got any advice, im pretty new to this turbo stuff.. thanks

as far as i know a little end play is always expected and not a problem.
are you running a cat? this could just be soot that you're seeing.

id say your turbo is fried. Ive worked on alot of DSM's, and usually when they burnt oil, their turbos were shot.
