Lol... if you want to waste your time and money! With a good filter (Toyota, Purolator, etc.) and good oil, I have not seen any reason to change more often than 5k miles or so. If you race regularly or otherwise treat your car harshly (offroad, very short trips, etc.) then sooner would be a good idea.

The stock turbo is water cooled and doesn't coke the oil like oil cooled turbos...

I'd be happy to see evidence otherwise, but 90k+ miles on a similar turbo motor (my WRX) says 5k-7k between oil changes has no ill effects (no oil burning, perfect compression, turbo still good, etc.).
