I think there is a restrictor at the oil inlet on the turbo which is possibly only a 1mm hole or less and I'd imagine you would need pressure to flow enough oil past this.

I wouldnt take what my gauges say as fact though, even the oil temp gauge will get up to 180-190 farenheit then as soon as it starts to rain within 10 mins of driving on highway it will be below 140 degrees. Which I doubt is accurateI noticed how small that hole is, there could even be a blockage in that. When I pull the drain plug pipe off, if the oil gets through to the sump then I obviously there is oil going through the turbo. someone has suggested to me that the turbo could have been bound to fail from the start as it sat with no oil in it in the back of someones shed, I also didnt pre oil the turbo before I installed it, didnt realize this was a thing.
