Ya I'm basically thinking the same thing. I was thinking we keep the outlet elbow pipe bolted to the turbo. Block off the BOV thread and the crank case vent on the inlet pipe, and then block off the compressor outlet and pressurize that section w/the turbo off the car and on a work bench. This way we can confirm our fix worked without bolting the turbo back up to the car. I'm pretty confident we can rig something up.
Either way, being that leak is on the turbo itself makes me think it could be messing with the spooling characteristics and velocities of the turbo wheel.
