Default Homemade Turbo for DOHC ZC

I've gone through 3 Mitsubishi TD05-12G turbos (From a Starion). Each turbo only lasted 1 -2 days. They dump oil into my intake and exhaust. Is there a better turbo to use. These turbos seem to be garbage to me. Can they with stand the Honda oil pressure? I have a CRX HF manifold which I am using anlong with a Starion FMIC.

Any advice on what a better turbo for this application would be is appreciated. Is there anything I may be over looking? I installed the turbos making sure the oil return was on the bottom with a 3/4 inch return line.

Check your oil pressure.....Sounds like it's too high if you're blowing out oil seals on a daily basis. You can put a restrictor inline to lower the pressure if needed.

Do you know who makes a restrictor for this?
