Pretty much all oil feeds come in from the side to feed the top port, as it would put quite a kink in the hose if it came straight down into the feed port and then bend it to clear the hood.

I can't imagine the turbo was under-oiled. I run an .035 restrictor and so do a lot of other people, and there aren't a rash of failures like this. My bet is that because you've got the boost controller hooked into the intake manifold, it's overspinning the everliving **** out of the turbo and causing your failures.

Yeah, I have. As long as it's a real Garrett CHRA and you haven't tried to disassemble it for any reason, they'll replace it regardless of the damage.

Should the wastegate line be hooked up post intercooler/pre intake?

I mean that it appeared from his first picture that the oil was coming in sideways. Like yes, the line comes in from the side, but makes a turn and goes downwards. You can't have the oil shoot in from the side, continue to keep going along the horizontal axis, and then continue out the drain on the other side. The oil still needs to fall in a vertical axis.

Ok , in the 1st video you can see the drain, nothing, not a single drop..
In the 2nd video is the oil feed, it fills 0.5l bottle in a few seconds with and without the restrictor.
Sorry for the poor quality , it's from my mobile.
