I wouldn't, due to the pressure the oil is coming out o the pump & the restriction caused by the oil filter I would have thought all you'd do is pressurise the oil return coming from the turbo reducing the flow of oil through the turbo.

Easiest way is to put the return into the breather hole above the drop gears.
