Just recently had a rebuild of my motor. Wiseco forged pistons .020 overbore, k1 forged connecting rods, motor was balanced and blueprinted, arp L19 head bolts, Jim Wolfe block cooling mod, HR oil pump, water pump, and thermostat. Existing mods are a greddy twin turbo setup, fuel lab fuel system, full exhaust, and an OS Giken triple plate clutch.

My question is, the shop said I need to get an oil change within a few hundred miles because metal shavings and such could get in the motor. They said I can't just shock the motor and put full synthetic oil in. What do I do in this situation. And no, I can't call the shop that built it

I think you go synthetic at the 3rd oil change. You probly want to research it more or ask in the forced induction section. I changed mine at 500, 1500, and was going to go synthetic at 3000 but ran into problems.

the oil needs to have zinc-somthing in it.. im wondering about opening up the turbo to clean it out but that would kill any core charge if i buy a new center cartridge. turbo only has 10k miles
