I have no doubt that the seals in the turbo could have gone. But I agree with JET that it isn't the reason your motor went. If the turbo was going through that much oil and you didn't catch it then thats your fault for still driving the car. When you install a big part like that you should always double and triple check everything for the first few hundred miles. I agree that your rod bearing failure was due to improper tuning which let to knock which led to the rod bearing going to shit.

I am wondering where you got your oil source from? If its in your post above then somebody quote it cause I can't read that shit more than once. I have heard that too much oil pressure has cause some PTE turbos to fail prematurely from blown seals.
