is my engine broken in?
 
Heres the deal. my reman has about 520 mi. on it. i haven't taken it over 4000 rpm and i've tried to stay out of the boost. i've hit 5 psi at the most. my question is...i'm just wondering if its safe to go WOT yet? i cant take putt putting around much more :D actually i lied....i got on it a little tonight and hit about 13psi. is this going to be safe on my factory ECU? thanks for any help

NO! sholud be no boost for at least 1500-2k...but every builders diff

500miles you should change all fluids
stay off boost!!

2k miles isnt hard
just take some long drives
if you go on the high way just keep vaing speeds and pull over every now and then to let it cool off a bit and give it a rest...

I agree w/the Shocker up there ^

I kept revs below 6k from 500 miles to 1500 and changed the oil at 500 and 1500. Also, keep boost at a minimum. 13# is *way* too much.

You have to ask yourself, do I want my motor to last:
(a) 10k miles

or

(b) 100k miles

It's your decision, man....

Is it ok to slowly go above 55 miles per hour!
