Or should I not worry about it until I build my motor or do a swap...

It all depends on how hard you run the car. The hotter the oil, the thinner it gets. I have twin Garrett GT3071R's on my engine and I run a 5w30. The stock bearing tollerances can't handle a very think oil when coil so limit yourself to a 30 weight.

Any images of your turbo set up? Im always interested to see who else is out there running twins like me......

For those of you running 30w, do you have lockouts on the phasers? I'm running 5w-20 because of vct. I'd be interested to hear how well 5-30 works with stock cams and vct.
