clocking new turbo ?
Would not clocking the turbo the right way so the oil return is pointing down cause coolant to mix with oil? Or would it be an indication of a bad turbo seal? Motor had no issues prior to turbo install.

Oil mixing with coolant is the sign of a failed head gasket.
Oil and coolant are kept separate in the turbo, and not clocking it correctly won't change that. |

XD... trying to figure out if you could feed, water to the oil in or vise versa, but you've got to be the definition of stupid to even think that it was correct... idk sorry XD

Like the gentleman above stated there's no way that could've happened since the lines are different. And yes that was my initial thought too. But if the lines were switched then there would be oil in the coolant as well but there wasnt.

disconnect the oil drain from pan, run it to a catch pan/bottle start the engine for a few seconds check the oil in the pan. fresh clean oil change obviously, the turbo chra might be crack or you can check the head gasket.

have you driven the car with the new turbo installed, and boosted it?
If so, how much boost did you run, and how old is the engine. if its an OE head gasket, and you boosted anything over a few PSI, you probably blew the head gasket. go to the parts house, get a compression tester and a coolant system pressure tester with import adapter. check the color of the spark plugs and see if any of them are sparkling shiny compared to the others. Lastly, pull the thermostat and fill the car up with water. Run the car until it gets to operating temperatures, and check to see if there are fizzy bubbles coming out of the radiator cap. if you see bubbles, your head gasket is blown if you have low compression in one cylinder and the spark plug looks steam cleaned, your head gasket is blown if you pressure test the radiator, and it holds 20 PSI of pressure with zero pressure drops, then there is something else in your oil besides coolant.

The car never left the jack stands, so no I haven't driven it this was just idling. I checked my fluids before starting the car so the probability of me blowing a cometic headgasket after starting the car is pretty low lol. Maybe I really did get sent a crap turbo either seal or a crack on the chra

There is no seal that can blow causing the oil and coolant to mix inside a turbo. Unless you got some super shitty ghetto China turbo that does that shit.
But as a FYI not properly clocking a turbo to where the oil drain is not pointing down and not allowing oil freely flow into the pan will cause the oil seals to blow. AS well as not using the proper oil feed restrictor.

Thats a heat shield. That movement is normal. When the exhaust housing in bolted down it secures that shield

Are you sure that is suppose to be a coolant fed turbo?
Would you say this pic is accurate?

When you took the old turbo off was it possible you had the oil return hose removed first and coolant sloshed in there when disconnecting the coolant lines from the turbo originally? Or has the engine oil been change and coolant found after initial startup?
Edit. Otherwise it might be time for a compression test

it looks as if the "coolant port" and oil port are connected.
Are you able to look through the coolant port and see the oil drain port? If so that's your problem
