Yes i meant oil line restrictor. Heres a good thread on a homemade catch can set up for around $30
https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...?topic=41175.0
or you can check the sponsor's, i've heard good things about the Z10? catch can kit. Ebay's got them too, one of they very few aftermarket products i'd buy off ebay. That thread will help you understand how the pcv system works with boost and how to vent it properly.
I'm not entirely sure where your pcv valve is on the y7 manifold, it may be on the black ventilation box on the rear side of your block. Good luck

^ i actually read that earlier today, helped me.

On another forum somebody mentioned possibily bad seals and the turbo is spraying oil itself. What do you guys think about that?

that doesn't really sound very likely, at least ive never heard of seals that bad to make it actually spray oil averywhere.

from the pics it looks like dipstick might not be all the way in or not sealed or liek said above, it could be a pin hole in the oil feed or messed up fitting where it meets the turbo.

and it wont do it if somebody holds the rpms around like 4k while in nuetral? maybe you can get some paper towels or something and loosly tape them around the oild feed then drive real quick to see if you can see where it might be coming from?

somebody on another forum mentioned power steering pump's seal at the shaft. I'm pretty sure its not a pin hole, but what do you guys think about that?

check the PS fluid level and that will tell you if its that. i had a ps fluid leak once but would only get on the driver side frame and around there

I had the same problem last week. PS fluid on the pulley and on the hood and on the floor...

The hose was not fully inserted in the hole.

10psi per 1000rpm after the engine is hot is fairly normal. Your light won't even come on unless that ---- drops to under 5psi or so (not sure of the exact #, some guru will chime in and pwn me). Mine's more like 10psi at idle of 800rpm or so on a super hot day.
