Also...

If you have excessive crankcase pressure, more oil will push into your turbo, which will slowly coke the seals, and eventually the oil seals deteriorate.

To test this, 'Bryon' on mr2oc forums slipped a hose onto his dipstick opening and monitored the pressure with a gauge. Your engine and turbo will operate best with a slight vacuum on the crankcase, therefore if you have a +psi readings off your oil pan gauge, you have excessive blow by.

This is my understanding after extensive talks with Byron and Presure2.
