Turbo - Banjo Bolts
Should these be looked at to see if they are clogged once in a while? I heard that these clog if dirt collects in them and they can blow turbo. How often should they be checked?

Check if you have not done it before... do it NOW and just remove the damn filter from the one inside the oil feed line to the turbo so there wont be anything to get clogged.

Yes, pull the bolts and remove the filters. They can be hard to get out if they are just starting to clog.
You could go one step further and get a braided stainless steel line kit to replace the turbo feed line, too. You can get them with an in-line filter too, which can be easily be removed and cleaned out regularly. I used one such kit from Infamous Performance a while back.
Also, don't forget the banjos on the drivers head, right in the front. A little difficult to get out, you can grind the plastic timing cover a bit to get the bolt out.
