Check the list that shane posted, see what applies to your turbo, and stick with that. Go with what the manufacturer recommends, nothing else. If it keeps blowing, tell the manufacturer to take a hike.
I'm sick of seeing these threads jullian. Don't do rebuilds for people with unsure oiling setups, figure out setups that work and do them right or don't do them at all. People with street-driven cars should not have to RE-REbuild turbos over and over until they guess the right combo, it is SO painful to see this keep happening locally, I cannot stand it.

he asking for advice and im am kind of at a loss. i have driven over 400 miles to help him, so its not like i have not tried my best. he has asked for a solution and if he would not have even mention my name im sure this thread would not be 3 pages long! i will work on my sales to the hybrid setups from now on, i still will work with him until it gets resolved no matter what it costs ME.
the strange fact of this turbos is that he drove it all last summer no problems, then he starts it this year and it begins to smoke. kinda makes no sense after all the miles he put on it...
