Default no oil from oil return

I just finished putting on my turbo kit. I cranked the car for 3 minutes and oil doesnt come out of return hose. oil does go through the feed line, because I disconected it from the turbo and oil comes out of it. but it seems to enter the turbo and not come out. my car is jacked up just very slightly but i dont think that should be the problem.

just start the car and don't sweat what everyone says. once it's running if you dont see oil for like 15 seconds THEN you have problems. there is no way in hell you can damage the turbo by starting the car, the thing will BARELY spin at idle, and if no oil comes through there is no way you can get it even remotley hot in like 15/20 seconds....
