Is this normal?
Well i changed my air intake (stock) after 100k miles and their was a **** tone of oil inside the intake. turbo has no shaft play what so ever. I have no ideas why their is so much oil, this is about almost all of what i could get off.

That could be about right if you waited 100k miles to change your intake and have never cleaned it before!

I cleaned mine off right when I got the car and it has the same goop/oil like what you have on your fingers right now. That was around 2 years ago the last time I cleaned it. Now, I check it here and there and there's not much of anything.
Just clean it and check back at around 6 months or so to see if you get it again.
. friend took off the stock intake and told me theirs oil inside, my heart dropping thinking something with the turbo went.

that hose is recircd from pcv fitting by cam sensor to intake pipe, buy a catch can and then you can clean it every couple of years and youll be fine, i just did mine, a week ago and have over 20k miles on my setup since installed, and there was more dirt on the filter then oil in the intake pipe, disassemble parts, spray brake cleaner inside intake pipe... clean any of that out
