Mine does the same thing. BUt only after I installed a role over valve. Tends to only blow the fuse when I pull the tether

changing it to a 30 amp doesn't solve the problem. There is obviously something wrong in the system that is causing it to burn out the fuse. I would rather burn a fuse then a wiring harness

What all is running on the ignition fuse. Add up all the parts (Ignition,maybe fuel pump etc etc) and see what they come to. At startup some items like the fuel pump will surge past their constant rated amp draw. If it just blows right away and has since you put on the kit you have a dead short. If it only blows sometimes I'd say you are over taxing the circuit. The 20 A fuse is there to protect the 20A wiring a 30 A fuse may or may not allow the wiring to heat up so that wouldn't be my first choice, either way it shouldn't do that.

check wiring harness on front left corner of engine. the 08 harness would rub through and cause the fuse to blow not sure if any of the 09s had the same problem.

From what i have seen, they run the oil return pump on that fuse, so adding anything to it would cause it to fail. I would say relay the oil pump and it should fix the problem.
