Is there a break-in required on a new turbocharger or can I stomp away? ;-)

Default I have never heard of a break-in time for a turbo, since most turbo

companies test the turbo on a bench to make sure it is balanced.

Default It's not a bad idea to run them easy for a few tanks before you really open them up.....

not that you need to avoid full boost, but put that extra attention into warm up & cool down, & keep the boost low(lower) until the engine's at normal operating temps. Like 2.0 says though, most turbos are tested, plus if they're bad out of the box, they'll most likely "go" right away!
