How did the old pipe look? If it had oil in it you might have a problem,but if it's dry then it might have been some oil to keep it from rusting.

how many miles are on your turbo? i just finished hopefully fixing my leaky turbo. not sure how many miles were on it, but it is from a 6.7, so the oldest it could be is 4 years old.
