the only other thing i can think of that you could run high boost and get quick spool would be Titanium wheels, problem is i am sure they are very expensive, i know the exist though.
Can't wait to see the number Tim, i am Very curious as too when boost will hit and the HP and torque number your going to get? any idea of what PSI you are going to try running?

Hm. I could have sworn that blue smoke was a sign of oil in the combustion chamber and that oil leaking in the turbos made black/grey smoke.
I remember my stock twin car, if i would park on a certain angle, i would start the car and it would smoke like a bitch. It would go away after a mile of driving.
I have put in an Extra liter of oil now though 
to keep it topped up.
Is there anything i can do other then continuing to top it up, The Royasl Purplr i put in it is not that cheap

switch back to conventional oil.. or buy new turbos/get them rebuiltbobiseverywhere said:I have put in an Extra liter of oil now though

i guess i will have to for now.
If i am going to get more turbo's maybe i'll change them with stockers if i get some for cheap otherwise i'll just wait to upgrade to a single like Suprahero

any suggestions on a good conventional oil.
With everything i have looked at i only know the Synthetics

Someone i know suggested the Lucas oil Stabilizer that it might help to stop the oil from leaking in the turbo. Any ideas???

Switching to a conventional oil will do nothing to correct your problem...IMO, a true syn oil is best to run in a turbo motor. If it's a cost issue concerning the RP, go to Wal-Mart and get Pennzoil Platinum...it's a Group III hydrocracked oil that approaches the quality of a PAO (like RP) or ester (like Red Line) based syn oil and has a very good add pack. I would use the 5W-30 or 10W-30...the 10W-30 is just slightly thicker and should meet your needs well.
Don't forget to use a good filter

Again, thicker oil or additives will not solve or improve your problem...either live with it or get the turbos re-built.
Stay away from Lucas like the plague...take a look at what it does using a simple test rig:

Thnx jdub like always with your words of wisdom my eyes are further opened. I will see, it seems to be burning allot less oil now so i might stick with RP or go red line.
I use Wix Filters
You're welcome Bob
Syn oils will clean a lot of deposits out of your motor...let it go for a bit.
