Nobody has asked this yet, is there a minimum oil flow/spec that should be met to feed these turbos.
I know I have seen some numbers listed for turbos in service manuals, but never seen an aftermarket turbo with an oil spec.
I can't comment on BW turbos, but I 100% guarantee you that Garrett has all those specs in place.
And as for the screen....as much as I hate to say it, if the OP did that, he hasn't read up on the subject much...
If I had to wager a guess, I think y'all were low on oil feed, and then unknowingly pulled a wicked vacuum in front of the compressor...which would also contribute to overspeed.
