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....
