From my personal experience, I cannot recommend strongly enough the benefit of using synth in a turbo car. I know that I have told this story many times so everyone else can stop reading
HERE.
When I first started driving turbo cars about 20 years ago I was uneducated about them. I ran dino oil and went through my first turbocharger in about 40,000 miles. The problem was that when you turn the engine off, even if you let the car idle some first, the bearings are very hot. The dino oil will "coke" on the bearings. It forms a gravel-like material on the bearing. The next time you start up, until it is flushed away by the oil pressure, it wears on the bearings. After replacing that first turbo, I drove that car over 180,000 miles with the second turbo. I have had similar success wiht subsequent turbo cars.
IMHO, it is very cheap insurance to run synth in a turbo.
