somewhere on Honda Tech i've seen reducers for the oil feed line.with one of those you can cut your flow in half.
I'd take a peek there if i was you.

I've never seen anyone run the oil line off the head, but I would assume that there would be about the same amount of pressure throughout the whole motor. If your turbo seals were blown, that would be a reason why it was smoking, but now that it's rebuilt, I couldn't see it smoking because of too high of pressure. Either way, here is the restrictor valve that I sell.

How big are your oil feed lines?

Use -3an and shouldnt have a problem of too much pressure to your turbo. Restrictors scare me :o
