Most guys running FP turbos are using AMSOIL if I'm not mistaken.

I went with a Buschur 2.3 engine and they recommend using Brad Penn 20w-50. Gotta get a good oil with high zinc levels.

I use Brad Penn 20w-50 for road course use on a built motor with great success. I didn't have as much luck with AMSOIL but that was before they had the super zinc content formula they offer now.
