Much thicker than 5/40, due to the extreme temps in the turbo that would thin out lower rated oils too much??
Yes and no.

If you have very high temps you will need a 10w-50/15w-50.

The Castrol RS is mineral based and will shear down under hard use, a top quality ester/pao synthetic 5w-40/10w-50 will take more heat and punishment then a mineral based 10w-60.
