Try using a higher grade, then after the tank is finished, remove the battery for 2 mins, and keep using the high grade.

You might have a boost leak too.

eh, i meann you should leave your car running for like 30 seconds or so after youve just run it hard. But that wont cause really bad failure. Unless the turbo is just that old that its going. Do you hear any whine noise while the turbo is trying to spool?
