Do you have an oil restrictor on the Oil feed line??
If not you over pressurized the center section and blew the oil seals in the turbo
Which means you need a new turbo
Where did you buy the turbo from?

Definitely sounds like bad oil seals...either you blew them because like Sileighty said you didn't use the proper restrictor or they were just bad from the factory (very very doubtful)

Correct me if im wrong but, I thought PT67s are still journal bearing?!?! So why would he need a restrictor for it?
