Wierd one! Oil starvation to the turbo maybe? I'd be careful boosting until you find the cause mate.
Pull the oil return to the sump off for a few seconds with the engine running and check oil is coming through from the turbo!

Did you use the same grade oil? if its much thicker it might restrict the engine.

i'd be pulling turbo off and running oil back through it, sounds like something has found its way through.
