Too much oil pressure. You need to run a restrictor.

Beat me to it..

Most turbos do not need 75+ psi oil pressure so running a restrictor will greatly reduce the over-pressurization of the oil passage... not to mention oil in general doesn't work so well as a hydraulic fluid :)

thx guys! where can i get one and how is it installed?

You can buy one from Full-Race.com or call 866-FULLRACE. (hope im not breaking any rules here)

The restrictor is usually installed @ the oil inlet of the turbo in between the oil feed line and turbocharger.
