Honda 10/40 dino oil worked for us...20 psi and 228 mph, 1.5 miles wide open. Bearings like new when checked. Change the oil in your bike frequently...and practically any good oil (not the thin stuff) will do, imo. 
Then again...use what you want, I have no dog in this fight.

My buddy has a Chris Jones built turbo ZX-14, and Chris suggested for him to run Castrol GTX car oil since the oil needs to be drained so often, he said running synthetic would run him broke. He changes the oil every few passes. The bike I'm talking about is drag race only, with 350+ HP. Not sure if yours is street, strip, or both.

Kendal has a turbo specific oil that I used when I had my turbo 750 that I had great results with. My rep at the oil distributor said a turbo oil had a higher ash content for the turbos temps.
