you need to route the pcv on your valve cover to your intake for the turbo. It needs to see only vacuum, not boost. Unfortunately, it'll be a little difficult to hook it up if you just have a filter clamped straight onto the turbo.

anyway, if you don't, you'll just pressurize the crankcase and blow out a ton of gaskets and seals. In the meantime, putting a little breather on the PCV and capping off the intake manifold one (if you put your BOV line there, that's fine) will be better than what you had.
