Well, that sucks. Good luck.
Or did you have a question?

Make certain your drain is within the spec on the drawings. Make sure the oil pressure into the turbo is correct per the drawing. This will solve 95% of the problem. Could you post a link with some pictures so I can see if there is anything else funky that might be happening?

The oil drain is the most important aspect of getting these things to seal up... It needs to be per drawings, i know at least for larger turbochargers--- GT35 and the like which i run on my street car, you need a 5/8" (-10) drain line, and it needs to be free of sharp radius bends and kinks otherwise you will pull a james bond style smoke screen...

Also, oil pressures over 100-125 psi tend to make the seals in the bigger ones leak... Newer GT stuff typically has a restrictor built into the oil feed inlet, but thats something worth checking as well... Common T series restrictors are .060"...
