What is the Fix for the consistent Turbo Blowing?

I here that a replacement of the oil line feed or lengthening of it will help to fix this.

Any other idea's?

Does the APR Stg III fix this problem as well??

Induktion sells them. But you need to pull the engine to install.

this is the stock setup (see how close the oil line is to the exhaust manifold)

Default I've said it before and I'll say it again...

I can't wait until your turbos blow, so you stop thinking that turbo failure is due only to abuse.
