you dont have any oil leaks on engine do you? i guess a leaky turbo could burn oil out exhaust.

any hoses goto that unit? any oil in main air cleaner? do you smell the same smell when under hood? a small leak in the exhaust system under car could also account for smell getting into car. if it's related to turbo change, maybe it will go sway after a few days?
