Check oil regular Check water regular Use high octane fuel Allow to warm up to normal operating temp before giving it the beans Allow to cool down after giving it the beans before switching off. Ensure timing belt is changed at 50k miles Ensure correct plugs are fitted (NGK pfr6b for standard and pfr7b for tuned)

am not a lover ov turbo timers. ie if av been booting it a wont turn it straight off.
as for the oil it millers 10 60 everytime. if anyone tries to advise you otherwise, they probably after the £££ u will need for a engine rebuild...
