I would hate to see the amount of oil mist that the turbo would draw in hooking up the valve covers to the inlet of the turbo. But maybe I should try it out and see. It'd be easy to do.

Wouldn't an oil seperator clean it up good enough?

There's hardly any to be honest. It will be fine unless you have significant blow-by. If you do then just leave it atmospheric vent till you finish your 3L.
I pulled my intercooler off every few months to clean it of oil because I remembered how much was sucked in before when the pistons went, but it didn't have any. The IC core was very clean. Once a year cleaning with brake parts cleaner to pull out any oil condensate would have been sufficient.
Really, I'm serious! Of course, I'm speaking for a good sealing engine with stock rings and pistons.

I was just studying about turbos a couple weeks ago, and its not really uncommon for the oil in the intake, this usallys happens when the engine is idiling, if you have an engine that idles alot there will be more oil in the intake no question about it, thats due to how the turbo "seals" work, even though turbos really dont have an actual neopreme seal.
