First, you already had a thread going about this. Why start another? Thread continuity on what was previously discussed and what was performed is vital to the success of the forum.

Second, the aforementioned test was suggested in the other thread. Without that test, you cannot determine if the oil in the turbo is due to the oil seals leaking or is simply oil from crankcase blowby. That test will tell you.
My recommendation is to leave the jug in place for at least 1000 miles. You must compare the amount of oil in the jug to previous data for oil consumption. If the amount in the jug closely matches the oil consumption, then you are wasting your time rebuilding the turbo.
