You need pressurized oil on the turbo bearings. The shaft will sieze VERY fast if there isn't oil pressure.  
 
Now wait a minute.  Didn't we just establish that the bearing "seals" will not hold even the slightest pressure, which means we can NOT pressurize them.  Sounds like we need oil flow, not pressure.
