Oil Weights?
What weight is the best to run?
I just had my HG replaced and I noticed on the receipt it said 5w30, And that just seems a little thin of and oil to run with an application that creates so much heat.
Also when I had my HG replace I had my test pipe installed and now I notice some smoke at full spool followed by a burnt oil smell. I check my piping for oil and TB with no signs. I also took off the DP with no signs as well.

Re: Oil Weights?
5w40 or 10w40 will work great on a turbo setup....
I'm currently running castrol syntec 5w50.....great oil pressure even when extremely hot......it maybe a little to thick but works well.
