    Are you sure it's oil starvation? Most of my issues has seemed to be too much pressure on the turbo seals via crank case pressure.

    Heh, if they had to be replaced during the 120k (damn oil filter housing threads, grumble grumble), it's most definitely -4.

    Sins I really don't believe thats why you are blowing turbos. You are definitely over spinning them. With closed wastegates you said you were only making 18psi and you ran it like that for a while. Check for boost leaks and don't close your MBC.

    Yup it was during the 120k. We went to a local shop and pieced them together.
