Kinks in the oil lines of early turbos has been suggested...

as a reason for turbo failures. Is there a remedy or retrofit of some kind?

I never got a good answer on that. All I know is that they have been replaced during turbo swaps.

this is incorrect. There is a in flow line and an outflow line. the outflow line is solid braided

the inflow is pretty large, and can not kink. I belive the problem is how the oil flows through the castings that hold the turbo

Oil feed lines. (Maybe AWE or SpeedTech can help answer this)

Did you see Garrett's recommendation about changing the oil lines on the turbo?
