I can always cheat and put big cc heads on the current motor, it's only 370cid but it's already fully built

I was hoping for an explanation of these 2 steps.
What kind/brand of engine oil is good for tubocharged engines? I've never seen any specifically made for them.
Why do we have to refill power steering? It doesnt say anywhere in the instructions that any of those lines or components had to be drained or disconnected.
Completion of Installation
1 Ensure that the engine oil grade utilized is suitable for use with gasoline turbocharged engines.
2 Re-fill power steering system in accordance with the factory service manual.

At the risk of sounding ignorant...could anything be done to make the spooling sound more apparent or the blow off valve? That vid of the Z06 dyno is super quiet.

Peter I know that if this BOV outlet hose is vented back to the intake it can help the turbo keep spinning, but your design is made so that the resulting surge of pressure put back in the intake if greater than the ammount of air currently being used by the Turbocharger than the air will reverse flow through the air filter. The only way I see this being improved is if there is a unidirectional flow device installed between the airfilter assembly and the inlet that the BOV outlet hose attaches to which would allow for a pressure to be forced directly back to the turbocharger to allow for less turbo lag between shifts.
This seems to make sense to me, but please give me your feedback.
Thanks guys

Don't forget this is part of the install as well.
