It's likely once you get the feed straightened out you will have to make vented+baffled oil pans to pump out of as I described our you will get smoke under hard cornering.
You need to drill a .030 hole in a small disk of 1/16 thick aluminum and sandwich it in between the the T fitting to the turbos and the feed side from the motor. Make sure to do the sending unit as and check valve I described to you in the earlier post, that way you see turbo oil pressure on the stock gauge after the restrictions and check valve.
This is a common newby problem and I'm surprised you were not aware of how to solve it.

Hey thanks for showing me the earlier post you made. I like that idea to put the sending unit after the restrictor so if some crap gets stuck in the restrictor orfice I would know.
I beg to differ that its a common newby problem. As others had success with .065 restrictor (dans auto) while I have not. , Another person recommended . .040 and you recommended .030. I see this as an issue that hasn't been fully resolved quite yet.
Also You and Dan auto recommend one way check valves at the feed side, yet neaither of you having giving me reasons for this? Im not trying to say you guys are wrong, I would just like some explanation of why a check valve on a side that has high pressure? Oil will never go reverse into the feed lines. It just doesn't make sence. I have a feeling you guys are doing this b/c it worked for one guy so don't ask questions just do it. Are you guys using a check valve as purely an additional restriction source?
If you can give me a clear logical explanation for a check valve on the feed side then i'll go ahead and get some and do it.
thanks for the heads up about the venting source for oil pan. I'll see how it works with the journal bearings first and try that technique out if i got issues.
Thanks for the help guys and sorry if my quesetions are repetitive to you guys. Im just trying to get a better understanding thats all.
