Do you think/advise that i should use synthetic oil when I first put my turbo kit on....then continue to use it?

i would use synthetic anyway.... especially when turbo...

if you use mobil 1 though... make sure you stick with it as i have heard people have spun bearings after switching back

synthetic is better than dino oil PERIOD..

i havent liked mobile1 for a long time now since they changed things.

i personally run pennzoil platinum full synthetic in my car. yea i know regular pennzoil oil sucks but this is not the same. its actually a pretty good synthetic oil. check out http://www.bobistheoilguy.com

I always thought you should always use synthetic oil on turbocharged/supercharged engines.
