RETed will become famous soon enough
There's no reason to be running some catchment system on a street car, no matter how much power or boost you're running.
You just can't run the car hard enough on the street to see an advantage to such system.
Catch cans can cause more mess in the engine bay due to it's design...

The pics of the turbine wheel aren't detailed enough to show any obvious problems...
The color is actually right for a normally running engine.
Maybe you can get some black crud to fall out of the turbine housing by tapping on it with a hammer?
Most likely you have blow-by from the turbine compression ring, but it may not be obvious until you pull the entire turbo apart...
