theres really no reason to not use it, just 'set it and forget it'. but chances are if your just driving around, you wont get into boost, and the turbos wont heat up much, so no, wouldnt need it if your not getting into boost.

Don't use 15 40. The engine's bearing clearances and the oil pump are all spec'd for 10w30. Amsoil is best, followed by redline and then royal purple.

ya i think 10 30 is good..
reason y i bought 15 40 cuz they ran out of 10 30 last time lol
really Amsoil is good? never that brand before
i tho royal purple is the best

shiat i used 15w30 royal purple they only had that but ill be sure to use that other stuff next time? is this very bad for the car or what?

and i was planning on buying this for my car since i dont have any gauges in it Blitz SBC I-Color Electronic Boost Controller with LCD Display should i not worry abotu that stuff or is it okay to buy it and get someone to install it, or what other gauges would i need? or is this thing good enough...haha just thougth i would since it looks pretty sweet lol it shows like "- The color monitor can show 12 kinds of data, which are BOOST, TACHO, SPEED, POWER, TEMPERATURE (water/oil), OIL PRESSURE, FUEL PRESSURE, AIR/FUEL ratio and External Voltage Input 1-3 (needs optional external voltage input harness). Maximum 6 kinds of data can be shown on the screen at the same time. (Please note that temperature sensors, pressure sensors, and A/F unit are optional items.)" i donno just give me a heads up on what type of gauges i should go for and some links so i can buy some like whatever ones that are important, thanx
