help with oil in coolant problem

Hey guys couple weeks ago I put new injectors had it timed to 16. 5 took it down the road and launched the truck was a rocket. Then all of a sudden I lost boost pressure it would boost but not much took alot of peddle to move the boost guage.



I thought I lost my turbo got back to the shop and seen oil all over the passenger fender but not turbo then I noticed it came out the coolant overflow bottle. Oil was gone from dipstick and the radiator was full of oil.



So I first pulled the oil cooler out of the block didn't seem to be cracked or leaking but wasn't sure what the best way to check was.



So I pulled head off and fire ringed the head and studded it torgued head stud to 125, 3 times and then put truck together and started it let it run in drive for acouple miniute then check coolant level no oil in it and was full. I then took it down the road and back never let the boost go over 20 psi and on average I only boosted 5psi or so. got home let it set a bit went to check the coolant level again and radiator was full of oil again and no oil on oil dipstick please help me this is makeing me worried and is starting to get expensive.

One thing I forgot to mention is the oil its self slowly fills back up and when drained maybe only a half a quart of coolant comes out and the oil isn't milky looks normal except its black.
 
me being stupid

ok guys I got it nothing wrong except the mechanic me the oil is just what I didn't get flushed out all the way and the dipstick is fine just a dipstick reading it not use to the oil bein that clean after an oil change.



But thanks to any that read this and thought of what it might of been besides me.
