I'll start out by saying that if I went with synthetic, I'd run it a tad shorter than the recommend change time for synth, not dino. So if synth is good to 8000-1000KMs, I'll change between 7-9. I'm not changing synth at 5000, even with a turbo. As mentioned, that's pissing money away.
Again, I'll be having a yak with my bud with his STi as to what he runs (dino/synth) and how often he changes it.
I'm just going to talk to FocusSport about what THEY recommend that I run. I've also started talking with US Duratec Turbo owners with the FS kit - I'll start gathering a consensus there. One guy has 18K miles on his kit without a single hiccup and he's not even running the coolant lines. Traps 13.9 with the atx and 210WHP, apparently.
Make no mistake - having a rough idea of how fast I am is nice, and chances are this will boost my drive to "take it to the track"... but at the end of the day, it's about fun. If I have piles more fun with my setup and I've cleared 200WHP... I'm happy. Done.
Naz - I like that boost gauge mounting A LOT. I'll have to attempt something similar for my car.
