Nah from what I know of them, those look good to me. I mean they may blow oil buthe way I undrestood it is that they all do after about 10k miles anyway.
Double throttle wasnt bad. Do this.....when you go to take out the screws on the butterflies. Get a phillips that fits very well. Then before you try to turn it, smack the screw driver down into the screw to lodge the head. Then try to turn it. Otherwise they will strip out in about 3 seconds and you'll have to drill the screw heads off like I did and it was a PIA!

those turbos look fine. if they were blowing oil you would have oil pouring out everywhere and coming out of your intercooler

I had nothing more in the intake tract than the normal. Did you see the pic of the puddle under that manifold? It's not too common to have an oil seal go before a coolant seal, is it?
