2nd Turbo no good? AHHHH!!!

2nd time I've replaced the turbo and I'm ready to shoot either the car or the turbo. In swapping a low mileage engine into my 2002 9-5 linear I replaced the old turbo (80,0000 miles on it) with a rebuilt Garrett and after about 10 miles of perfect running- intake full of oil. Bought another one, put it in, and same thing- perfect for about 10 miles and poof, intake full of oil. WTF? Just dropped pressure relief valve thinking maybe its high oil pressure. Clean, fell right out.
Anyone have any idea?
Is it just coincidence with the two rebuilds? I got them from a site sponsor that I've used for years so I don't think I'm buying a crappy part. Totally cleaned out intake and intercooler beforehand. Turbo boost, performance, everything was normal but apparently oil is bypassing the seal as it running?
I can't see anyway to connect the turbo lines incorrectly but could I have something bass ackwards?
