That's fairly normal... Just on the safe side, check your oil return line to your turbo to make sure it's not oil starved... Btw, I never boost the turbo until the car's temp shows right in the middle, indicating that the car's engine is fully warmed up.

New question I am in process of doing the front brakes is there a trick to getting the spring clip on the out side of the rotor off?

A pair of needle nose pliers and they come right off. fit them in one of the holes first before putting them back and then just stretch them back until they snap back in place. These are a cinch!
