Default Oil Line Question, Low presure. PLEASE READ! Need INPUT!

I recentally bought a peakboost kit, all installed, tuned etc.

Previous to installing my kit I installed a foot oil feed line with two T's. One for the stock sender, one for my auto meter gauge sender. Everything worked fine for a few days then it appeared my autometer gauge/sender, one or the other took a crap. PSI would go from 5-80 or so PSI. I then installed the turbo kit, and got a new sender and gauge. Installed those and my pressure is still very low. Basically the gauge never goes over 25psi. The kit came with a -4an line, no restrictor and my car is blowing smoke... I believe it is pushing oil out of the turbo because the car never smoked previous to the turbo install, but my pressure sucks per my gauge. Any ideas as to whats going on? I asked Anthony at Peak if the -4an line is correct, and he claims that is what all the guys there use.

Thanks for the input.

-3 with no restrictor is ok, but, i have never gotten away with a -4 without a restrictor.

so what did it do with the -4? Does it push the oil out the seals? Thus the smoking issue?

If you are running the line, to a T, whith your oil pressure coming off at that point, then your oil pressure will read lower. Hook it up to its own designated line. In other words, put the T off the block, and run a single line up to the oil pressure guage. See if that helps at all.
