I'm guessing there isn't enough height between the turbo oil drain and the oil level in the pan to get the oil to drain properly, you may need a pump.

If you had some pics it would prolly help. You need the bottom of the center section about as high as where the oil pan meets the block caus the oil level is prolly an inch above the low oil level sensor. You need the turbo a lil higher than that so it can drain and free flow.
