There Usually isn't a break in per say but the manufacturer of bearings I have received have a piece of paper suggesting easy driving (no boost) for 300km's.
But the MOST IMPORTANT is to PREOIL the turbo... take out the EGI fuse crank the engine until you see pressure on the gauge and crank for another 30 seconds, then replace the EGI FUSE and Go.
As far as turbo's the Type of Bearring makes a HUGE difference, if it is ball bearring no reall break in necessarey, if it is a brush (bushing) bearring then they suggest 300km's of no boost for proper breakin.
But most don't and have not found too many ill effects.
