Have you tried checking the turbo for any leaks? Might have a blown off intercooler pipe some where (boostleak test)..if all checks out you might want to consider doing a leak down test.

No codes and leak down passed I have exhaust cut down and running straight out the hood vent atm and it’s misting the windshield with oil when I do get it to run the third cylinder spark plug has oil on it just seen that today is it at all possible that I jumped time? I’m so lost and don’t know where to begin
