    Odd boost indication.

    look up and try a chemical cleaning on the turbo, I am malone 3 on 11mm pump, sprint 520, straightpipe, and every oil change I do this, otherwise I get the problem you have, like every 5-20k. My turbo is also warped vnt I believe.... Raising the IQ helps. I had mine @ 2.1, not I have it at 5...

    Suggestions on preventing turbo clogging?

    have you tried a chemical turbo cleaning? I had the same issue and oven cleaner fixed it for 15k miles so far. Just freeing the lever up is not a proper fix and only lasted about 1/2 tank for me. I raised the IQ to 6-7 and that helped too. But I have 520 nozzles and 11mm pump.

    Torque setting for turbine/compressor shaft nut on gt1749vb turbo

    8/10 chance you break the turbo, no offense, buy why why WHY? Many people push these turbos past 200k and they are FINE. They spin over 200,000rpms. They have to be perfect or they will grenade eventually.
