is my turbo stock?

it sounds like our stock turbo. I have an extra one in bedroom. I will take pictures of it and post it. Our cars came with a T25R Garrett stated it is the exact same as a GT25R except it is made of a stronger metal to meet OEM spec's....

the turbo says garret a/r.80 m24 and i noticed a little oil sepping out around the upper intercooler house between the turbo and the hose is that bad?
 
You stated previously that you had a problem with the boost spiking before the car goes into redline, correct? Anyone on this forum should have told you that boost spiking in the MSP is pretty common. Also, I am having a similar problem with oil leakage on the turbo. However, I know that my turbo is wearing out and I will be replacing it pretty soon.

The only think I could suggest is to replace the stock turbo with another, such as the Garrett GT28RS, or have a custom exhaust manifold fabricated that will house a stronger aftermarket external wastegate.
