hey, mine was doing that right after i got it turbo'd, it didn't do it much and now its not doing it anymore...does your turbo have an oil restrictor in the feed? i have an oil problem, but i have oil coming out of the turbo its self, like threw the fan blades, and oil is going out the exuahst and out of the compressor out let, its blowing oil into my piping and i do have an oil restrictor.

i bet your pcv system is allowing boost to enter the engine, blowing oil out all of the seals. get something called a krankvent http://www.et-performance.com/turbo.html
i've seen them work wonders for other cars that were aftermarket FI, cars that were blowing oil from seals, blowing oil into the intake system off boost, and popping dipsticks. it all stopped happening with the krankvent.

what you need is a oil catch can so the boost is not feeding right to the pcv system , nate your problem is your oil return line i have the same problem , i just got done reworking my oil return line to a 3/4 copper flex line and that seems to help a lot i only see oil smoke at 12-14psi i also use two reducers in my feed line ,
