EDIT

The guy means that he's tried 3 different turbos and he's getting the same problem, not that he was trying 3 turbos at once.

Sorry man, it looked like an obvious trolling attempt the way you put it though.

the feed line is leaking oil?
the feed line is big?
how big?
if the turbo is getting too much oil it could be blowing the seals inside the turbo

I bet your problem is your oil return line. The oil return line has to be straight into the oil pan, about 1/2" thick. Its gravity fed, so if the oil cant drain cleanly it will stop up and your turbo will SMMOOOKKKEEEEE. You also need to have your oil pan tapped HIGH on the pan so the oil can drain freely.

If the oil gets stopped up (if your tube bends upwards or anything which can restrict flow)...it will go right out the seals and into the turbo ext side..and buurrrnnn
