Is it normal to have oil at the cold side of the turbo ?
The area that I marked with arrows
A little teaser BTW :)

No. Have you pulled off the filter to see if you have oil on the inside surface of the inlet to the turbo?

Do you have a GT oil inlet restrictor fitting?

Yep. I pulled of the filter and checked it with my finger ,there was some thin oil around the inlet surface ,I am not sure about the restrictor ,I have one but I will check it again.

I thought I had one on my GT35r and turned out I was runnig without one for a few years, I always head oil trace on the inlet right in front of the compressor wheel.

Your oil inlet fitting should look like this.
