Any pointers post-blown turbo to get the oil out of the exhaust?! This is embarrasing

I'm planning on using Steve Eiche's hybrid s/w
FMIC will come after a new clutch. I'm stretching these upgrades out over the next period of time, and I bought the 57 trim cause hap gave me a nice deal on the turbo including an RS2 manifold, all the water/oil lines and a custom fabbed intake pipe so it all works. Maybe I'll have the turbo rebuilt with a different cold side wheel so it spools faster. Who knows

Yes T04E/K26 57 Trim is a foul beast...
and when it comes on, it COMES ON! It's a wild ride in the 90, but then again if I don't have it on full boil when challenging someone head to head they immeadiately get a good jump. Had a tweaked Saab 9kt try to run at me in town and he would zip away until my boost hit and then I'd be driving over him until I shifted. It's a rush to drive with this turbo, even at 17-19lbs. The stock suspension got a hard workout at 3.5k to 7k rpm

OK I ran into this too, so did Marc Swanson with another hybrid...
and the two solutions.
I was stuck at 13lbs. I replaced everything, WGFV, entire wastegate with a known good unit, checked base timing, pressure checked, vacuum checked for intake blockage, and more. In the end I found that the "T" fitting feeding the boost gauge I had was clogged, mind you it was clogged purposely to rid the "buzz" from the fitting. I tore out that fitting and the gauge read 19lbs.
Marc S. chased down a similar issue and found that the WGFV must dump into the airboot unrestricted. He had moved the WGFV with a hose because the location on the 2B airboot is not great. Once he put the WGFV directly into the 2B airboot the boost came back. So if you have the WGFV moved because of the 2B airboot get it back in directly.
Two stories that may help

I ran the 57 Trim at 19.9lbs with stock injectors and good EGT and A/F on the dyno...
so these guys should be able to go higher with bigger injectors and proper software. I was looking at going 24-26lbs with 37lbs injectors, but I am stepping to a smaller turbo for a more linear response since I am stopping at ~330whp.

Hmmmm....#2 seems to be a good thing to go off as mine is mounted on the airbox now...
with a braided hose running to the 2B boot, WG, and Turbo....
Something to check I as the WGFV is new and we tried swapping it w/ same results.
Thx
