before you blame the turbo, are you using a restrictor?
And is that drain pointed within a few degrees of straight down?

Maybe you'll get lucky and you're jsut pushing a little oil from too much pressure or not a good enough drain.

You're a ------- trooper hacking that ---- with a dremel cut-off tool. I despise those things as they don't hold up for ----, though I find myself using them now and then.

yeah the drain line is good.. i took an inch off it today so it's a slope all the way to the pan with no kinks.. no dice

also tried venting crank case pressure with the oil cap off and it still began to smoke.

I made a restrictor since the feed is -4 AN with a 7/64" hole right before the turbo.. some people say 1/16" but god damn that's like a needle hole.. i couldn't bring myself to do that

I'm beginning to think the 5w30 oil is getting too thin once it heats up. 15w50 time??

1/16"

that's REALLY small for a journal bearing turbo, are you sure that will be ok?

also I don't have a timer setup, and I just realized i've been cutting it off right after driving for extended time.. :l

How did you blocked the pvc and run the tube to the catch can? I'm not sure to understand that part of turbo setup... I learn fast when I want but that part I just don't get it..
