Still need to get my amsoil filter on, ran out of time. Now let's see if I can keep the oil clean???

It still looks a tiny bit dark-ish (still a bit of soot in it), but you are finally on the right road towards getting that engine to run good. Now it is just a matter of fine tuning and doing oil changes at proper intervals.

It is likely the extra idle time that is getting it. Bump your turbo up to about 35% in your idle region only (50 mg/stroke and less) if you have to idle a lot, or use a lot of PTO. See if that helps it a bit next go around. I would not go much higher than that though.

I'm guessing it's more or less residuals left that have it that dark, I think my next oil change will clear it out.

Give it boost at idle you say? lol damn. That's what I did when my turbo was pushing oil but once I fixed the turbo, I turned my idle boost back down.
