Let's say that i've put half Litre more of engine oil to the recent oil change (almost 7lit instead of 6,5 lit) .. 
It's dangerous to my engine ?
I'm asking because I saw some oil in the turbo outlet that there was not there before .

Yes, it is dangerous for 2 reasons, first it can blow your oil seals, 2nd - it can end up either blowing past your piston rings or through the breather into the intake, where it will feed the engine uncontrollably until it has used up the excess. Turning off the ignition closes the fuel shut off solenoid valve, which is what stops your engine normally, but in this case you can't shut it off. 85mph down the M6 in a hire van, with my foot on the brakes for a mile and a half was no fun! Just put a washing up bowl under the drain plug, with the engine COLD, and partly remove it slowly, so you can screw it back in once you have let out the required amount. Have some rags handy, roll your sleeve up, and put some cardboard on the floor, - just in case!

Thank you andy for your reply ..
I wouldn't expect that , less than 10% more oil , can create so big problems ...
