If you don't mind me asking. Do you drive your brz without an oil cooler? Weather gets pretty hot here in texas. Also, which grade oil were you using on your brz when you first installed the avo turbo?

Nice cars btw. Bmw I've seen before too. It was near where I worked at. I'm assuming you were tracking it at the texas motor speed way because it was only 10 minutes away from where I saw it.

0w-20 or 5w-30. Basically what everyone is using in their boosted FA20's unless they are only using it as a track slut.

I used toyota's 0w20 for 3k-4k miles with the turbo. I'm just worried that I was abusing my car without any oil cooler using 0w20, especially with the texas heat;90-105f. I don't want any bearing problems down the road. I did Recently switched to motul's x clean 5w30 after getting my car properly tuned to 250whp at 6psi. What weight oils were you running and what weighed oil are you running now with your turbo?
