You are forgetting about the turbo. Those turbos get very hot in those engines and 0w16 would be a complete disaster.
And those engines were also under rated. Mine was definitely putting out a lot more than 146 hp based on the cars I was street racing against and keeping up with or beating. They were making closer to 175 hp in my estimation.
