If Rock is around I'd like to get an confirmation that roadrace does not recomend synthetic oil and an explenation why . To me (and quite a few car manufacturors) synthetic oil is ideal for turbo applications. IMO its the lancers weak pistons (thin ring lands) and a lean conditions or imo even more likely senario is poor fuel (insufficiant octain) combined with a lack of intercooling needed to boost over 6 psi with out detonation that shattered the piston

check out turbosize.xls on this page and plug the numbers.. it will show that premium at over 6 psi will detonate its also a cool prog for home turbo brewers....http://home.attbi.com/~hyc/dyno/

i been reading all this about turbos . . . and i have one question. . . . can i safely add RRM's NON-intercooled turbo to my car without upgrading the pistons and engine internals? . . I'm gonna be in the market for one next year around this time and I think I will get the non-intercooled setup . . . I'm just waiting til my warranty is up . . 
but I certainly don't want my engine to end up looking like that . . .
