I was taking off my intake and I notice alot of oil and dirt in the turbo inlet. Is this normal? I cleaned it out and my Idek felt alot smoother.

Fairly normal, it's most likely coming from the valve cover breather port.

Ok thanks, I had no idea. Should I just replace that or not worry about it?

Clean it off if you want, but don't worry about it.

On my phone so its a pita to post pics but I took my intake piping off cause I just got my car and it was very oily due to the breather so I did the DIY catch can. 17$ and I just cut the stock tubing and got some hose clamps.
