If it has a turbo eating problem #1 is to figure out how the turbo is failing, thrust bearing failure is usually indicative of an outside problem like intake restriction or exhaust restriction or a malfunctioning and/or under sized bov, if the journal bearings are failing check oil pressure and make sure the oil drain is free flowing and that the correct size restrictor is being used if there even needs to be one on it at all, Holsets don't need them usually, and an inline oil filter might not be a bad idea also if it doesn't have one, if it does have one make sure it is clean and flows freely, also was the turbo that was put on it new from Garrett or used and/or rebuilt, if used and/or rebuilt then improper assembly/balancing could have been an issue. Just what I know about turbo problems
