Whats the recommened break in period for a new turbo?

 

nothing really. just make sure you prime the turbo and off you go. there is no really break in period for turbo like there is for clutch. always let your motor run for while before you shut it off to let the oil flow or else you can cause oil build up in the lines. Also remeber to have a nice straight oil drain line without any kinks. The kinks will cause oil backup and blow your sealsout.

I was wonderin a turbo timer would remedy this right?? Isn't that what a turbo timer does??? Thanks for any help. Or you are refering this as a non turbo timer?

 

Yes, he is reffering to a car that DOES NOT have a turbo timer. If you have one, then just set it up and it will do the work when you shut your car off. You are absolutely correct, a turbo timer lets your car run after you pull out the key so hot oil does not crud up in the turbo or the attatched lines.

 

the drag instructions say to break it in for 1000 miles..is that wrong?!?

 

It's good to take it easy right after the installation to make sure that everything is working alright. If you accidently make one mistake during the installation (like installing a fuel pump backwards, which i think someone from here did) then go boosting right away without knowing....you will have a blown engine in no time.
