Turbo break in period
 

I heard that you have to break in your turbo and i was wondering how i would do that and for how long :confused:

well....breaking, yeah...breaking it in....i made it about 10 blocks from my house before i was flooring it, of course that was after i drove it around my neighborhood for 10 minutes looking for leaks and making sure everything was right.

30 miles and you should be good to go ;)

yup. 30 miles.

30 miles of doing what? running low boost or just not flooring it everywhere?

Don't shift over 3k rpm for the first 30 miles.

30 miles? I've heard and read all over that it was at least 300 miles. :confused:

we recommend 30 miles

30 miles like whoa... gonna be hard as HELL not to floor it when i get it done, but if i can do this gay ass break in period on my clutch, ANYTHINGS possible...

how can u not shift over 3k with an auto....... lol im gonna have to drive around my neighborhood goin like 20 miles an hour for 30 miles ;-\

i wanna drive down to the shop and have SFpower install mine, they are 6 hours away of wide open highway, how am i gonna manage to do this? cuz as soon as i see a open stretch my foot automatically floors it! lol.

I also heard it was 300...

Wait, now im confused. Is it 30 or 300 :confused:

Hey I'm Pretty sure Andyman and Catalyst were just being sarcastic about the 30 mile break-in period...I can see how it'd be hard to go 30 miles w/out flooring it...can't wait to get mine! :D

no they weren't

I heard 300, but HKS and GReddy recommend something like 500 miles.

sounds like you got it down y0!

ok, so we all agree on 30 miles right?

lol, I ran the hell out of mine the same as soon as I finished the install.

So did I :evil: :hgrin:

and nothing went wrong?

Nope, turbo is perfectly fine.

sweet, cant wait!!!!

yup, the turbo is in perfect shape. Turbos are made to run right from the get go. We recommend 30 miles of easy driving because it makes sure the seals are all set in place.
