Re: break in turbo (overboostedcivic)
Is your engine stock as it was before the turbo setup?
What setup, engine, etc....
As far as I know you don't need a break in period if you just installed it on a stock engine. However, if you built up your block then yes your going to need to follow some sort of break in procedure.
If your stock. Then, your best break in period is getting that beast to the dyno and getting it tuned. As far as I am concerned its the only way....don't drive around untuned. Get that **** tuned and you'll be golden.

LOL, unless you just got the motor rebuilt at the same time, then that's BS. It doesn't matter.

Re: (MachAF)
Unless you rebuild the motor then a break-in is unnecessary....you can if you want to feel safe, but im just telling you, that your not hurting anything by boosting around on a stock engine setup with just a kit on it......just tune the **** first. thats your break-in

Disconnect the ECU fuse and you will not flood the motor.
No ECU fuse = No Fuel Or Spark

Yep, same thing you do for a compression test.
