10w-30 hmm i could of had Some Boost leak and the Wastegate could have not been venting off enough also... I have a turbo xs boost controller now...
hmm... I have a Clutch master cylinder leak .... manifold leak and need a new turbo plus plugs belts oil change hmmm
Im Leaning towards buying a new turbo... hmmm... now am i better upgradeing turbos to a 57 or 60-1 trim?? and just keep the boost at a lowering 8 psi
I really want to motor swap but I dunno about the exhaust and intercooler... I will start asking around on the other site.

My two cents? You don't want to do a 60-1 upbuild with the CT26. Too much wheel in the relatively small housing, questionable reliability as far as upgrades go. The 57 trim is about your best bet for a CT26 upgrade/upbuild... good power, not too much lag, and pretty reliable.

I concur. I've read a lot of posts about shafts breaking on 60-1 upgrades. I wouldn't even think about an upgraded turbo unless you're upgraded your fuel system though... and preferably have a means of tuning.
