Default Any Turbo Guru I have a question??

I have a remote mount T4 turbo on my C5 and I had a oil leak out the turbo when i first put it on, and then found out the return pump was to small so I put a Shurflo 8000 pump that is good for 120 gph and it stopped the leak for about 2 weeks then all of a sudden one day it started leaking again. Ive checked and the pump seems to be working ok, ive put a check valve in the return line to make sure it wasnt leaking back into the turbo when i cut it off and still no fix, im confused please give me some ideas or Help please. Thanks, Josh.

someone told me to put a nitrous jet in the feed line at the fitting so i used 56 NX jet in the fitting on the feed side, that is what i got in it so it will restrict, maybe thats what your talking about?
