new turbo

The hole in the intercooler may have contributed but is unlikely to be the sole cause, unless it was a massive hole.

There is no clean way to tell if the turbo is getting oil. If you loosen the turbo oil drain line at the engine end and start the engine there should be a fair amount of oil flowing out of the turbo. That's the only way I know of, but it's going to get very messy.

Other than replacing all the gaskets.
Make sure you pre oil the turbo so it has some lubrication when you fire up the motor.
You will know if the turbo is getting oil because it will blow within a couple of minutes without a fresh oil supply.

A tip on removing & refitting the turbo is to remove the oil filter first. It gives you room to work under the turbo so you only loose a bit of skin when doing up the oil feed pipe.

Guys want to ask if the patrol can put a turbo from another car, I mean cheaper.

Matching a turbo to an engine is a fine art, fit the wrong turbo and at best you won't be happy with the performance and at worst you'll be fitting a new engine soon after. Getting the original turbo rebuilt may be cheaper than replacing it.
