I just replaced my head gaskets and everything was fine, however, I am getting gas in my oil. I upgraded to 50 lb. inj. from stock. I am also getting lots of oil clouds bellowing out of the exhaust after it fully warms up and I am off of the gas. I have pulled the plugs and there is no signs of oil on them (heavy on the gas though). I believe at this point that the turbo may be bad, what what could cause the gas to get into the oil. Possibly a non sealing intake manifold? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Allen

Check your chip calibration ... overly rich conditions can come from a bad cal. Did you get a new chip with your new injectors? Could by you are rich enough that there's enough blow by to get gas in the oil.

Also, are the injectors new? If you have a leaky injector, I believe this can cause your problem too.

Blowby from rings is common in turbo motors, and if you run race fuel a lot you will especially notice the smell if this is the case. Not every motor has this issue, as it is usually a case of rings wearing out, cylinders being washed down with fuel, improper ring sealing, or any combination of these or other things.

Ken is exactly right, it could be chip, or anything else that would cause you to run rich... Start with the simple, rule out the obvious, then troubleshoot the other benign stuff that makes you scratch your head...
