Turbo car's are much harder on oil because mostly all turbo's are oil lubricated and turbo's get extremely hot so the oil will break down much faster on a turbo vehicle especially if you don't let the vehicle run a couple mins before shutting it off.

I would ALWAYS use synthetic oil in a turbo car. Supercharged vechicles like ours are not really any harder on oil as they have thier own closed oil lubricating system in the snout.
