I highly recommend teeing off an oil pressure sensor on one of the oil feed lines so you have an idea what it was before and what you are changing it to.

I can guarantee that if you use a small enough restrictor, you will stop the leak. Thing is, you want to maximize oiling while still not getting any leaking. Finding the perfect restrictor size is hard without data (this is part of the R&D for a turbo kit). Hence the pressure sensor. (C'mon JT, I know you're curious to know as well ).

EDIT: PS. It's always possible that something else is causing the back up (like a faulty PCV - I'd put pressure sensors everywhere to really trouble shoot this - feed lines, return lines, sump, oil pan, crank case - that would be great data to see!!! A lot of work to troubleshoot what should have been a simple install. Can't really expect a shop to do this - just a wishlist from an engineering perspective. If I was the customer paying per hour for troubleshooting, I'd say put on the restrictors, change the PCV valve, make sure the hoses for the crankcase ventilation are all R9 stiff fuel injection quality, put an open breather on the driver's side crankcase vent, and call it a day.)
100% agree with this when i installed my kit crankcase ventilation was the problem, and had oil blowing out the tailpipe

i dont have any harsh words bout both the kits i have had, they all have there ups and downs, but even when i had my kit running right it didnt suit what i wanted and when they say turbo spool up is from 2500rpms to 2800rpms they need to change it to 2800rpms to 3400rpms, but this kit does seem to have more problems then others yet again im not bashing it becasue to some it is just right for the other 75% of FI z guys and girls you expect more for the money you pay.
