Default Should I take it easy?

I'm getting my car back tonight. It's a D16 and I just had a turbo kit put on it. Is there a break-in period?

If the turbo kit is new, or at least the turbo itself is, I would take it easy for the first 300 miles or so and just drive normally, don't push it, youve gotten this far with your car so don't ruin it

Why take it easy, it's not like a new motor that needs the piston rings to seat. As soon as the turbo center cartridge gets oil in it, you can spool that bitch up!

yeah but you dont know if there are any problems and there always are. just take it easy for a few days to make sure theres nothing loose or whatever.
