once you run that shit through- it all drops- why you run it for a few minutes then drop the oil- and hope it doesn't clog you screen- and didn't your car smoke for 500 miles real bad???

OR just pour some diesel in the oil- works like motor flush

that was the first time i changed the oil on the car after i purchased it. and they were's big chunks of rocks or anything, but you could feel the oil is a little gritty and the oil itself have dark spots in it

i believe it only smoke white when it is burning or something, but i put it in the oil, so i didn't experience smoke

Actually it was probably just coked oil from the turbo's center section and/or the oil return line. In this case I'd say the Seafoam did some good. The turbo will likely live a longer and happier life with uncoked bearings and an unclogged return line.
