Default need help Asap

well im looking to see if u guys could help me out with this issue that has been messing with my head. ok here it goes

my friends srt is been jacking up turbos so bad, the first issue was that my friend was driing and all of a sudden the turbo went out, so ok screw it, i put another one in its place and it messed that one up too..so i put another one and same story, so this last time yesterday, we switched the manifold and put another trubo..and i intalled it and watched it idle and everything and it was fine..i took it for a test drive and in less than 10 min the turbo went out and started to have a nasty shaft play, so right now i took the turbo apart, and the shaft bearing looked burned and smelled like ugly burnt oil..

It's quite possible that the turbo is being starved of oil or water because it heavily relys on both of those. More so the oil than the water though, and if his oil looked like shit then there are most likely deposits all throughout the lines that need to be cleared up. Denatured alcohol through them should do the trick. I would recommend running some kind of oil stabilizer from lucas or something like that, and changing the oil after 1k miles to see what it looks like. Also some seafoam might not hurt either considering what his cylinder walls probably look like.
