WTF?? what majority of EVOm has tracks their cars for every mile now. WTF does that have to do with the discussion? When did tracking the car come into this.

If that was the case I def wouldn't be running AMSOIL cause I'd dump the oil after every session anyway.

The car gets its fair share of thrashing every time it is driven

That being said, on a car with a stoxk turbo i really dont think you will see any difference.
Yup and their was a whole thread showing this due to a dissimilar metal, proprietary bearing design in their then JB turbos.

A non issue in other turbos
