What weight oil do you use?

Supertech oil and filters are both decent considering the cost. I'd run a supertech filter over a standard Fram anyday.

ANyhow, Swifty maybe consider putting an oil pressure gauge inline with your feedline so you can see the pressure that the turbo is seeing rather than the overall oil pressure. Just a thought.

I personally have never done anything special in regards to the pressure my turbo see's. I got my turbo from Bullseye, and I bought the feedline fitting (built in restrictor) that they recommended. That's about it. I've ran anything from 10W30 to 20W40 in my car, and I've never had an issue. I also never run an inline filter on my feedline. I remember the Sport Compact article from many years back where the guy from dsmporn.com was part of the Ultimate Challenge or whatever, and went through 2 turbos during the challenge, and turns out it was a clogged filter on his feedline causing the turbo to see not enough oil.

OK, I'm done rambling.

x2, Frams are junk. The local O'Rielly's in St. Cloud did their own little oil filter analysis and found that out of what they stocked, FRAM was by far the worst. The WIX actually had the most filtering surface of all of them. I am not sure what else they tested, but I know it was about 7-8 different brands or so.
