Now both Royal Purple and Neo, have dyno tests showing about a 3HP increase with their synthetics, use of a synth is generally not cost effective in Turbos where you need to change the oil at least every 3k miles anyway.
Castrol 20W50 will be a better choice, for living in SoCal, unless you have money to burn, or that extra 3 HP is really worth $35+ oil changes.

BTW, I have used Castrol GTX 20w50 in warm Florida weather for nearly 15 years with good results in rotary engines.

Regarding oil, I've used Castrol GTX or on occassion Valvoline. I used 20W-50 in the old engine, except during the colder months where I'd use 10W-30. In the new engine I'm running 10W-30 year around.
