I purchased a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO with 110,000 miles 6 moths ago. One of my turbos went out and is filling cylinder 2 with oil. looking for some advice and what turbos to replace them with. Ive always been told to replace both if one goes out. Also looking for advice on an upgraded intake system for the car.

Not sure how a bad turbo can fill a single cylinder with oil. Something else is going on.

I have oil coming from the intercooler into the throttle body, i thought it would've been coming from the turbo. I also have almost zero boost. Any suggestions of what it could be?

Ah, that's different. Yes, a bad turbo can leak oil into the intercooler. With 110,000 miles it might be wise to change both turbos.

do you have any suggestions for what brand to use

If available, Ford OEM. To save a few dollars, Mahle/Clevite from Rockauto should be OK. Be sure to clean or replace the oil filter, AA5Z-6C683-A, in the oil supply lines. Considering the mileage, new oil supply lines which include the filter may be a better idea.

Bad valve seals usually are suspect of that condition.
