A lot of this is torque and violence of torque IMHO.
I've not had half of these issues because I've never let the turbo come in too soon doing so will just wreck the clutch, do in the engine mounts, ra*e the CV joints, having stock turbos producing the power at 2500rpm etc is prime to do this with 280-300lb.ft of torque. Especially as it jumps in VERY fast.
Make the torque come in gradually but produce the power higher and IMHO a lot of these issues will stop. Big power TDis are getting away from these problems by making the power come in higher up.
If TDis are able to cope with this with simply uprated clutches, I'm sure we muts be able to
600nM (442lb.ft) at 2600RPM... Above 200hp from 2500rpm to over 5500RPM, above 250hp from 3000rpm to 5500rpm...
