So I've been trying to get my car running for a while now after an aborted swap from my local shop. Finally got it to a point where I could test fire the engine at least today. Well, guess what idiot forgot to remove the tape from the turbo inlet that was protecting it from metal shavings while I put in hood latches, THIS GUY!!! So here are the results of that test fire, and a pic of some sort of fluid coming up out of said turbo also, which I need help identifying.

Me just guessing, maybe being taped off made the inlet side pull a ridiculous amount of vacuum which caused a seal to leak oil into the intake. Like I said though I dont have any hands on experience with turbochargers.
