Its very unusual for the outlet oil pipe to block because its a non-pressurized pipe,unlike the inlet!In my 15 years of dismantling turbos ,never came across a blocked outlet pipe.....dozens of inlet,yes!

they said it was blocked with oil sludge, are they BS-ing me? and they don't know what caused the sludge either
anyway got the vehicle back and been driving it over the weekend.
no loss of power, no white smoke during idle anymore, however there is still that black smoke when you floor it. gassed it on two different stations and no smoke still. gassed it only a little then try to empty the tank before filling up with another station. now its time to check gas consumption as i have filled it up in full. will monitor also coolant and oil levels every two days to see if level gets low
anyway here is a picture of the two old turbos, wondering what caused the bent impeller blades on both. left is the older one, right one is the supposed new turbo that is leaking and was replaced as well.
Turbo #2 LEFT and Turbo #3 RIGHT
Turbo #2 close up
