Oil in my boost hose!
Just changed my SFS boost hoses for new Samco ones (less joins...less chance of leakage!! ) and found some oil in the hose that goes from the air box to the turbo inlet.
I get no smoke what so ever on startup or when boosting so i'm not too worried, just wondered if this was normal or if I have problem, cos i cant think where it would come from other than the turbo?!

The oil is probably entering the airbox through the breather system 
If theres no oil in any other hose i wouldn't worry
Might be worthwhile uprating the breather system though, the oil will make that hose go soft and break down, and thats a very common hose to collapse when on boost, obviously because the turbo is sucking all that air through it

Oil control filter
Look at the breather connection on the rocker cover and it goes into what i describe as a "round black thing"

As said i wouldn't worrie about it to much if it's not alot as 90% of them have a bit of oil in the hose's just give the breather pipes a good clean out that will help
