Just checking, is there still and AFM and then leak free intake piping to the plenum? that would kill it if it not.
An unloaded turbo in the exhaust won't cause an issue, it you are worried just disconnect the wastegate so it is open
The reservoir is pretty far from the pump, as others have said some of the pipe is also a rather janky power steering cooler. Find the leak. It might be the rack, might be a hose/pipe, etc.
