the main reason why i am asking this is because i was told that synthetics goes there the turbo seals and causes turbo to blow oil every were.

Greddy just came out with a new line of oils, i'm sure its pretty expensive but if it is from a turbo company it can't be that bad right?

on the back of Import Tuner this month, may be a bit extreme, i don't know your setup, but otherwise i would think Royal Purple would be your best/most economical bet, i have heard alot about Motul, but never used it, probably higher price and harder to get hold of than royal purple

I use 2-stroke oil, seems to work the best.

+1 on the Royal Purple, depending on the time of year I'll use either 10W40 or 20W50.
