I think I'm currently at 8000 with full synthetic, but I really need to change it, probably tomorrow. I think I've gone 10k once without realizing it. Whoops.
For a turbo? I probably wouldn't do more than 4k. Better safe than sorry with that.

I am boosted and use Brad Pen Racing oil, Just for the sake of the Engine and Turbo, I change my oil Every 2 Months or 2k. I see oil changes as insurance. I know Many many people that live by this rule as well, the Additional heat from the turbo will break down the oil much faster than running the same oil in the same engine yet N/A.
