I must have read your directions 5 times and definitely noted the "stop and go driving is good" comment. Thus my thought to commute to work with the car.
Yes, Mobil 1 15W-50 (15W not so great here in the winter, though the car does live in a heated garage so it isn't really exposed to cold starts (though it might if I drive it to work this week). 50 weight for the track has been my theory for 10+ years). Is that good/ok?

Looking forward to your impressions too, Charlie. That line really is quite different then for us 3.3 guys. New line is the only way to go in your case, glad it was any easy repair

The car has 50 miles on it since the turbo install. I drove it to work today (plenty of stop and go, Kevin!).
There are no visible leaks on the ground, car is running great. I will likely be able to unleash the beast a bit on the way home from work tomorrow. Of course it is below freezing here in NJ and the car is running R compound tires, so I'll try to keep the fun to intended fun...
