I would think that the turbo will go from full spool to stop in just seconds as the engine slows down from full throttle to being shut off and stopped.

Well, a few years ago I did my own test. I took a big old cast iron frying pan and heated the thing up until it was so hot that it burned off regular vegetable oil in a few seconds. I would guess around 400 to 500 degrees F. Then I put a few of drops of different oils at different spots in the pan. Very interesting. I could see the various dino oils smoke and darken and eventually turn to a sludgy residue. Mobil 1, Royal Purple, and Amsoil smoked just a little but did not blacken or sludge. After cooling the pan, they still felt like oil. The dinos were history. Not a scientific test but it proved the point that synthetics handle the heat much better than dinos.

Any true synthetic should work well with a turbo. They handle heat better. Redline, Amsoil or Royal Purple would be good choices.
