Thats what I run too. It's probably your best choice for oil.

While we're on the topic of oil, I've always had a question. Do you have to put any extra oil in to accomodate for the turbo?

It should need enough extra to fill the volume in the turbo and feed/return lines. Just fill it to the mark on the dipstick. As for Castrol GTX, that is what I'm using now, but after everything is installed I plan to run full synthetic. Should hold up better under the higher heat, and i don't want to take chances.
