Is the wastegate arm operating correctly? If it's stuck shut the car will overboost massively and the turbo will overspeed very quickly, getting very hot and cooking the oil around the bearings.

If the turbo got hot too, the wastegate arms can warp causing them to stick.

Throw that 18G in the bin sonic....
With your build you could run a bigger turbo and still be well in the 'safe' zone.
