Default Too much oil pressure to the turbo

Has anyone found a solution to the this problem on hondas caused by the rediculous oil pressure that they produce? The car makes so much pressure that the oil is being pushed through the seals in the turbo. I know now that it's not the seals in the turbo because this is a brand new one and I've already called turbonetics and they agree that the oil pressure is too high for the turbo. I used a nitrous jet in line on the feed line on the last turbo and that caused the turbine side to burn up because the oil passing the jet was constant and did not increase as the boost and rpm did. The trubo does not smoke but I get that fresh oil in the exhaust smell when I stop. I can live with that smell and the occasional puff of smoke on start up but I'm more worrried about the oil pushing through the seals on the compressor side because it sits in my intake and gets sucked through intercooler and plmbing and eventually into the combustion chamber which I hear does a number to the fuel ratio. At this level of boost detonation is not acceptable. I've thought of trying to use a fuel pressure regulator and using the the return as a bypass back to the oil pan. Has anyone ever tried this? I would really appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!
