Oil drain problems

Hey everyone, been working all winter on turbocharging my brz. Fabricated all the piping from the intake to the rear bumper. It's a top mount setup with a journal bearing turbo. Everything works great except for the oil drain from the turbo the oil pan. Oil is backing up the line and leaking through the seals. I'm shooting big blue puffs of smoke out the back. I disconnected the drain hose from the turbo to check for oil in the line, pointed it down below the oil pan and oil started pouring out. It seems like the oil level is above the drain bung. When comparing my drain location one in a jdl kit they seem nearly identical. So I'm a little confused as to why it's happening. I'm hoping some of you guys would have some insight on this.
