Someone else can chime in if needed, but I don't think you need a "break-in" oil for your turbo. You usually use a break-in oil for your motor because it needs to seat the rings on the pistons, but this isn't the case for a turbo.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong though!

No such thing. Assuming your engine is already broken in, your turbo itself doesn't break in, so use whatever good oil you like. I always think a quality synthetic makes sense for a turbo application because the bearing puts a lot of heat into the oil.
