...........or prolonged oil changes or a build up of carbon in the oil supply caused by increased heat resulting from the turbo running twice the stock level of boost........................apparently

have been told by more than one persone (including the garrett tech serv) that these turbo's will happily push 25+ psi with the right exhaust and intake....

In fairness it was not sighted as the cause but the comment was made that carbon build up in the pick up pipe would occur quicker in a 260+rwkw T than a bone stock one.

I'd say you are right on the prolonged oil changes steve, defn a contributing factor.
