The same oil you put in now.
But really dude, unless the manufacturer of the turbo calls out for a specific oil run that. Read your manual. Read it again. And call your turbo manufacturers tell them you didn't read shit and are a total noob and ask them what kind of oil they recommend.

manufacturer manual would be ideal but sadly the manual doesn't talk about a turbo so.....
All turbo subaru engines run 5w30. But all subaru engines also have the oil cooler/warmers below the filter to.just beat the car up until the damn oil temp is safe.

I don't think this is an illegitimate question. Oil recommended for the car in the manual is no longer valid once you go FI. It's no longer the car Toyota built and may require a thicker oil to be safe.

Use a good synthetic. It can withstand higher temps better.

5w30 has been great for me. Never seen temps over 230. Average seems to be 217 with my logs in torque pro
