Default Piston Ring Break In - I searched...

I will be breaking in my new piston rings in my car with my turbo attached. I wont be boosting because ill pull my wastegate spring. Now do i run non synthetic oil? Even with the turbo that NEEDS synthetic?

I will be following the 3-6k Load runs as perscribed by endyne and such..im just concerned that i have a turbo and such... any opinions?

I wouldnt run sythentic oil in a new motor.. You usally break it in on regular oil and then switch over to sythentic.. Not sure about what to do with your turbo..

you need to break in the car turbo less
it is wayy better on the engine and your turbo for that matter, espevcially since you need to run syn. only. On top of that i do not thing it would be a wise idea to let your turbo free spool like that without the required lubrication

but what do i know
