So i have a question.

So today my licp came in and i was excited to put it on, started by taking the front bumper off yatta yatta and get the licp off and i noticed some oil on the inside of the pipe. Now obviously this cant be good but does this mean that my turbo may be blown or something? Some insight would help thanks!

Check the turbo for any shaft play.

How about oil inside the fmic? Bad? I'm asking because this dude I know was parting out his car and there was oil sitting inside the intercooler.

Normal blowby. Keep in mind this does get into the intercooler and reduces its efficiency. Degrease the inside of the intercooler ever couple of years. I just use a lot of dishwashing liquid.

It wasn't just a little oil, it was a lot to the point where I was tipping the fmic to the side and it was dripping.
