Default New turbo is installed, running great. Why am I still worried?

My turbo failed at 125k. Got a new oil feedline that runs over the exhaust manifold. (Audi's oil "preheater") It's all running great. I can feel that the turbo is working.

Why am I still worried? I've never had the oil light on the dash come on. How do I even know if it works? How can I verify oil flow to the turbo?

If you dont have a CEL or oil light on and it sounds and drives ok, its fine.

Well at least he'd not have his oil flow anxiety! maybe this is the solution to car problems in general? "Aw man my timing belt snapped!.... 'pop-pop'....ahhhhhh who gives a ****!"
