No you have to run the oil cooled section of the turbo, otherwise it wouldnt last longer than a few mins. It lubricates the bearings/shaft in the cartridge. How long did you run it with the oil retun going straight down? it may take a few mins, and a load on the engine to get all the ---- out of the seals, and yes it is normal for the oil return just to dribble out like that. You may have a bad turbo..

i ran the oil straight down about a minute and it's still leaking. i resolve the leaking problem by limited the flow of the oil to the oil feed with regulator. i now ran into a different problem. i think the turbo is now working alright by not letting too much oil into the turbo feed. i hope this is ok. new problem, when booting to more thsn 5 lbs. the check engine light comes on and no power power at all. is there any way i can bypasss the engine light and let the engine ignore the boosting? i also added a mod chip to the stock computer, i don't know if this is a factor that causes this. or is there a completely new ecu that i can use to control it? any recommendation please advice.

what type of fuel management are you using?

Exactly.. what are you using for engine management? FMU? bigger injectors? BTM? have you installed any check valves yet for your map sensor? otherwise you will get a CEL, and it will run like ----.

right now i am not using any fuel management. but i will be putting in FMU in two days. the mod chip that i added on is f from ebay. the mod chip is added to the ecu inside in the unit itself. now, how would i go about hooking up check valve so my car won't run like ----.

this sounds like a ticking time bomb.
