My gut feel says it's really not a big deal except on really hot days, but that's just my gut feel. I'm also guessing that the coking problem gets worse over time and doesn't immediately clog the oil line. How long it takes to clog probably depends on how often the turbos get really hot or it's a really hot day and heat soaking is therefore a problem.... how long that takes to happen I have no idea. I also don't think there's a noticeable difference between the heat soak of a big turbo and the heat soak provided by stockers. It's possible the the big turbos being more efficient at higher boost levels don't heat up as much as overboosted stockers and thereby aren't as big a concern wrt. heat soaking. I know this hearsay doesn't really help a lot but it seems this situation is rare or there's very little experience of the oil line coking. Do e-mail the mobile pics if you get the chance. I'm curious and would be glad to offer my opinion if you're interested.
