Default eating turbos

Any one come across this problem ? Just changed the motor in my track car and it keeps blowing turbos, the car is a standard wrx 1996.

as it comes on boost it make a high pitched noise and the turbo goes bang

I am now bolting the third turbo on as we speak, and i know if i test drive it the same thing is going to happen

I have checked all the pipe work put standard dump valve on and made sure oil feed is clear

someone please help
thanks in advance

Check if there is a filter in the banjo bolt in the oil supply to the turbo.

Or at least start the motor and let it idle with the turbo oil feed in a can.
