Do turbo's need to be broken in?

It's not installed yet, but once I get turbo and everything in, should I take it easy.

I don't know if there are a break in periods for turbo's and turbo components.

Can I pretty much just go for it? Or should I wait about 500 miles or so?

ALso.. what about the other components, like oil coolers, fuel injectors, things like that.

Well, by the time the turbo goes in, I should also have a oil cooler and fuel injectors, and tuned, and .. etc...

So you're pretty much saying it okay to gun it?

ANybody else have any input?
