They are even less tolerant of 22psi of boost I bet.

Should see the look on the mechanics faces when you tell them you run 22PSI @ WOT on a regular basis. Damn, I love my UP chip

What dealer thinks 22psi is ok?Every car I have ever seen new is set at 34 from the dealer.

When I bought my car the tires were 22-24, and 87 gas. I asked about the pressure and I got a reply about VW drivers not wanting a harsh ride or some crap.

Ford is even worse - every time father-in-law took the Explorer in for service, they would lower the pressure to 20 even though he explicitly told them not to. And they wonder why there were so many tire problems...

Moral: Always check your own tires.

Can’t say what long gone happened on your car but maybe your father-in-law can do is to quit owing a FORD.

There's so many things I could say.....but I won't, ME? I use 10W30, works in cold works in hot and comes from the ground. Works good enough for me. What brand? whatever's cheapest. But I don't have a Turbo, thank God, there's so many things to worry about! Between Oil choices, and trying to match my boost to my tire pressure (that's what you guys were talking about right?), it sounds really hard.
