How is your oil return? Is it a 10An line, and does it go straight down back into your oil pan with no kinks, and/or dips in the line???
Also, what size oil feed are you using? -3an seems to work the best.

i know i am a noob and what do i know, but when you finish bolting on the turbo do you take out the spark plugs and crank the car? i know people do that to get oil to the turbo b4 they start to break it in.

The bumps MIGHT be causing a oil flow problem.. the oil is like blood for the turbo. needs it!
