Yeah, I have a hard time believing an engine with the proper amount of oil in it to start with, could be starved at high rpm.
0w-30, waaaaay too hot, maybe. But the correct type of oil, and not extremely low on oil, I don't think unless you do a 125mph, 2hr run, that you could get the oil so hot to do this kind of damage.
My oil pressure gauge reads almost 100psi when cold, and after the car is warmed up at idle only reads 20-ish, but just off idle it climbs rapidly, and usually sits between 60-80psi. Plenty of pressure, plenty quick.
So unless Boost was running 2 quarts, I don't really think this could be the problem....
