hey guys, just got done putting in my new BNR Stage II this morning. My question is;
Should I/is there a way you're supposed to break in or start up a new turbo?

Just about everything else has been done fresh oil, new gaskets, new hoses etc... i'm more worried about the actual startup or first drive. is there a proper way to drive something so new? any tips pointers, do's and dont's?? any help would be much appreciated. thanks again guys. here's a couple pics i took not too long ago. i'll be starting it up tommorow afternoon

 

I've always been told when installing a turbo to disable the ignition and remove the oil return line near the engine side, then crank the engine over several times until you see oil comming out the return line to make sure it is primed.

Other than that I've never heard of anything in regards to breaking in a turbo other than making sure you let the car warm up before you romp on it.

 

thanks for the help.

Pull the ignition and fuel pump fuse and crank the engine for a little while.
And just to be safe wait for a few mins and do it again.

You want to prelube the turbo before starting it.

Otherwise metal/metal contact with the turbo bearings.....NOT GOOD

Let me know how you like it
Im planning on getting a stage 2 sometime after december.
