Default New turbo break in???

Do you need to break in a new turbo when you get it. ie (no boost for so many miles?). I searched and no answers. Thanks

From what iver heard you dont have to break in the turbo itself...if you have a built motor you have to break that in. The turbo is tested before it is sent to you and it should be fine to just go out and rag on it as soon as you get it on. Good luck.

This is just my opinion...

I think there should not be a break in becuase it's just an oil bearing and once oil pressure hits it you should be good to go. Think about it like this. Lets says the top dragsters buy a brand new turbo ready for the race season, How many times does he have to go up and down the track just to break in the turbo........I don't think so. Once it's on it's boosting. Others may have a different opinion.
