Just a thought, prob irrelevant.
Is this happening when engine is fully up to temp, or even warmed up but you've stopped for a minute & re-started?
Had a similar prob with the(manual) 'liner only when seriously leaning on the loud pedal in this situation, which I thought was wastegate related. Turned out, I needed a slightly lighter grade of oil. Esp in modified F/I engines if the oil even slightly too thick & allowed to cool, even a tiny bit, it can be going thru the turbo in 'great slugs' rather than smoothly.
