Pretty sure VR1 is the best oil ever for porsche aircooled turbo engines.

synthetic was designed for hi heat applications, jet engines.
with dyno oil you risk the chance of coking in the turbo. I have seen first hand what can happen when a turbo gets coked up and then it comes lose. it WILL do far WORSE damage to your engine than an oil with a little less zinc in it will do.
I have seen a spray bar hole get plugged, eat up a cam lobe and a rocker face.
this was just a spray bar hole, imagine it getting to a bearing.

your valve guides will wear out long before your valve train using mobile 1.
