I usually run HPR30, but I decided to experiment with the magnatec crap and its exactly that CRAP. my engine has not sounded worse in its WHOLE life. I will be going back to HPR30 for sure.

HPR40 is for dead engines isnt it? I know we used it on my mates VK when it was missing a ring or 2

Seemed like the best oil going by the description on the back... Have normally run magnatec but have recently tried HPR30 (on the n/a) and havent reallly been a fan of it as it made the lifters a little noisy, but just thought I'd try the 40 on the turbo motor and see what happens.
