Could the oil be coming from bad valve seals?

Like what? I don't think they got changed when the 910s were installed. Couldn't the oil be seeping out of the exhaust valve, through the exhaust and through the turbo seals? Just my theory .. I'm no expert on this.

Oil is in the intercooler tubes right? As in from the compressor housing to the intake runners?

Yeah but I haven't had any of the exhaust side apart yet.

There's no way on earth that your oil is leaking out of valve seals, into the exhaust, and back into the turbo through the seals and then getting into the boost tubes. What lincolnlocker is trying to picture to you is how would any oil from leaking valves get into the intake. If you don't have a ccv plumbed into the intake then the only place that oil could be coming from is the compressor side turbo seal; unless your neighbor doesn't like you for some reason and comes over to pour used oil into your intake when you aren't paying attention.

If the 910s were shimmed, there is no way to install the shims without removing the valve seals. Were the valve seals re-used or replaced?

There is no way for oil in the exhaust to get into the intake system.
