Default Some trouble installing turbo

Hello everyone,
I am installing turbo for first time and I get one problem with my turbo and oil cooling. I connected it lik this :
|engine|---|Oil radiator|------|turbo|------|oil pan|.
Turbo get's alot of oil pressure and it's spittin oil pretty bad. Know the question is"Is it possible, what turbo spits oil because of pressure?", I bough used turbo, but it was working very well on the car(I saw by myself).
I hope you will tell me answer
Thanks

I am using about 1.5 centimeter diameter hose.
What about cooler? Turbo is beyond radiator.
Is it possible that high oil pressure(its really high!) from radiator, could breach turbo's sealants(if there are some)?

he's trying to say you need a bigger hose. I personally like my hose slightly on the small side, but it's nice to get a big one every now and again.

Hmm, but default cooler pipe is about 1cm diameter.
Maybe I should install T-joint pipe and connect with turbo like this

|radiator|---|-------|oil pan|
|
|turbo|---|Oil pan|
?
So turbo wont get such big pressure from oil pump?
P.s. sorry for my bad english

kyle, didn't any girls ever tell you that bigger is always better?

anyways, the inlet pipes aren't really what is in question here. The drain needs to be nice and thick with a good flowing area down to the pan.
