Thanks for the info.

The wiring loom that currently covers the wires is so brittle that it crumbles when you touch it. The car is old, being a 2000 and does not appear to be taken care of very well. Thought I would change the wire covering while I was working on the other items.

Got it. The black, plastic "wire holder togetherer" conduit stuff.

Make certain to get high temperature "loom". I went to an electric supply house and bought a bunch of the stuff to supply my life for years ahead.

Turns out I bought interior grade stuff which crumbled away almost immediately. Never drop your guard.

So I got the ETM off and cleaned up. However I noticed that I have a film of oil in the in the tube leading to the ETM, is this normal?

Normal, yes but not desirable. A failing seal on the turbocharger's shaft can lead to oil in the "charge air path".
