Blow by is normally caused by worn rings. Worn rings will also show on a compression test as low compression because the rings can't hold the pressure, aka blow by. I'd be curious to see the condition of the top of the piston.
Have you gone back over the intake manifold bolts and torqued them in sequence? What about the gasket on the back side of the intake manifold for the EGR valve?

Remove the pipe going to the throttle body, is the valve shutting all the way?
Check your CEL codes, fix any that appear.
Take off the vacuum line coming off the intake manifold closest to the fuel pressure regulator so that it will eliminate any leaks on the vacuum manifold.
Make sure your...
You don't have to recirc the BOV, mine isn't but every car is different. What are your mods so far on the car? I don't think you'll need an SAFC yet either. For the blow-by into the intake piping, for can always get a catch can. http://store.driftmotion.com/static/i-oilcatchcan.php

High vacuum situations can pull oil up the cylinder walls and into the combustion chamber. This is especially easily done if the oil is diluted, by running the engine too rich and gas gets into the oil.
Oil in the intercooler piping doesn't always mean the turbo seals are going bad, you could...
I guess the high vacuum under engine deceleration couldn't pull oil up the cylinder walls passed the rings at all right?
Also, the movement on the shaft itself won't determine bad seals as the seals don't actually touch the shaft itself.
