Ive got the valve cover PCV to a filter, and the block PCV is just going to the air.

The return line is the one that came from the factory with the turbo It's as big as a power steering line, thought that would be "ok" ? Not exactly sure on the size lol, haven't measured it, just found stuff at the shop to fit. The return did have a little pinch in it though, so I used a ziptie to open up the pinch, maybe it's still restricted there as well? =/.

Turbo still feels strong and runs strong, drove for the whole week back and forth to work 16 miles each way and didn't even notice the difference on the dipstick
I did find a restrictor though in my array of parts at my shop. I'm going to put that in and see how it goes from there I think.

I put a restrictor in this afternoon, one came with my boost gauge . It's still dripping oil, but not getting as much in the intake. I still have the rebuild kit coming soon. So if it doesn't get any better I'll just put the new seals in it or live with it. I consumed/dripped about 1/4 of a quart in 600 miles.
