Do you have a catch can ? If so yes thats normal, its called blow by. Hit the track and you'll see even more oil in that catch can from all the G forces.

i got a can, but not catching anything at all, which is good.

if i am correct, it looks like your catch tank is on the breather pipe. Put it on the PCV pipe if you want to catch oil. I didn't see much oil on the breather pipe either, which is why i never had a catch tank on that pipe. But the S2000 is known to have a lot of oil buildup in the intake manifold from the PCV. Even N/A guys get a lot of oil there, since well, that's the way the PCV was designed to work. I had my catch tank on the PCV and caught a good amount of oil there.

So I put the turbo in....now it's over boosting like crazy
hopefully I'll get that damn wastegate to open.....maybe the guys didn't tighten it enough while rebuilding it.... : /

did you hook the wastegate actuator vacuum line up? did the rebuild guys adjust the length of the actuator arm?
It wasn't overboosting prior to the build.....so it's either easy:
vacuum line leaks (it's hooked up)
rod needs adjusting (most likely it was removed and installed back when the turbo was rebuild)
or hard
replace actuator ($$$ and time!!!!)
.....and on the shelf waiting to get hooked up are:
oil pressure sensor with the gauge in the audio controls
tapped oil pan (the place I took it to tapped it so the tap is facing a little down...might need to redo it)
two oil catch cans for the pcv system
